First, my disclaimer - IANAA. I think it must depend on where you live. My state is middle of the road self defense law wise. Here, if someone kicks in your door when you’re inside, it’s considered a home invasion.
From the cases I’ve seen here where that’s happened, the homeowner wasn’t required to ask the home invader how much they had to drink or if they were armed before using deadly force. It was considered self defense.
