I have always heard you couldn't shoot them until they broke into the house or were in it,
what if they're outside trying to come in a window or something like that, attempting to kick down the door but haven't kicked it down yet, or in the process of breaking in your car, I wish they would right it more specific so I could understand,


In TN if you break the plane your are in i.e. once any part of your body or extension, weapon etc. passes thru a door or window they have broken in. In a dwelling, residence or car the intruder has already proven intent and ability the only thing missing is fear for your life. In other situations you must prove the intent and ability.
