That would depend on your state, the nature of the intrusion, and the threat this intruder poses to your safety or your family's safety. There are a ton of different scenarios, each allowing different levels of force.
If an intruder enters your home, you can shoot them.

You would be in trouble if you shot the person as if he, or she, has not entered the house, how can you call him, or her, an intruder. Probably get by if you shot a mother-in-law, as they are always intruding, even from a distance.

Right they need to be a reasonable threat to life inside of the home.

You can only shoot if you are in suitable fear of your life.
I would suggest if they are still outside you are not in imminent fear of your life and i'd send you down for 20.
Shooting the in-laws - does that make you an outlaw?

In NC if you shoot a person in the back or while they are fleeing your property you can be charged with manslaughter.

It 3would be advisable to wait until they are in your home.
As shooting random strangers on the sidewalk is considered murder.

In Missouri we have the castle doctrine. It says that you have the right to shoot if they are on or in your property. Thank the Lord for that one!!

Not unless you're in fear for your life or that of others. Even inside your own house!

The law may allow you to get away with it, IF you drag the body into your home.
