It happens all the time in states like Massachusetts.
Citizens who carry guns are not looking for reasons to get in a shootout. Quite the contrary however they hope they never have to use it but they have the piece of mind that if they need to they won't become a victim.

Uhm... Sorry, but castle law (shooting people) doesn't exactly mean "burglars are allowed to cut themselves by glass bla bla".
Obviously that's an indication of bad laws though, that a burglar can sue house owners for damage they did themselves while tresspassing. But that has nothing to do with the right to
shoot them. That would be the right to cut them with glass. :s
