I will not shoot a thief. It is illegal in most states...pretty sure legal in Texas....but...
Anyway, not going to take a life over “stuff”. Not wired that way and not worth the cost of legal fees to defend myself.
If someone breaks into the house, then I assume my life is threatened. No cycling the pump ( really stupid thing to do as it gives away my location....internet commandos will disagree) and no warning shots. You have less than a second to make the shot and do not know what the threat has for weapons. BTW, a shotgun at house range has little pattern to play with.
I have both the house and tool barn/shop alarmed.
