If I were still in Texas, yes I would. Here in Connecticut? No. In Ct you will go to jail. In CT you will go to jail and more than likely be sued unless they were about to commit bodily harm. If someone breaks into your house at 2am and your dog bites said person, you can and surely will be sued. You will not win that lawsuit either. CT law breaking into someones home is not a criminal act in upon itself.
In TX they just have to be on your property. Any time, any day.
