From a practical standpoint, you'll be better off if you're not in Cook county (Chicago)
"You go out for a late night bike ride/walk and as you round the corner three clowns are lighting and ready to throw MCs at your home. No one is inside except for your pets."

I believe the opposite. No one's life is in danger so I don't think you have the right to shoot them in Illinois. I could be wrong.
Now if someone was inside the building being firebombed that would be a different story.
