When he's got his arms raised in the air and 20ft away? 15ft? 10ft? 5ft? ....

the moment you draw your weapon and that burglar does NOT turn around and run but continues walking towards you.....you shoot. It doesn't matter whether he's 3 feet or 30 feet away. If he continues to approach you instead of retreating, he is a threat to your life and you are entitled to defend yourself.
