There are some areas with laws colloquially called “castle doctrine.” e.g. your home is your castle. You can use appropriate force to defend it. That said, I think a jury would still take a dim view of a shooting if the shooter’s life wasn’t in danger. My theory when I am wearing my weapon is “Behind every bullet, there’s a lawyer.”
And I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
