it's not self-defence if you end up in jail. i wish there was a rule that you can shoot an intruder, like in america.
Well, in Sweden, you can get away with it only if the intruder had a firearm himself and was going to shoot
you. The only one that I know has esacped jail for shooting an intruder not armed with a firearm was that father in Rödeby, who shot a kid with his shot gun, after the gang had harassed his family for years. He had to pay the kid's relatives compensation though.
So you can as well get an illegal gun too, because you have no right to feel absolutely secure even in your own home. Getting an illegal gun, shooting the intruder and dumping the body in the ocean or in some far away swamp or so would be easier than trying to follow the law, since the law is sick.
