well, the consensus is pretty much : don't go outside and shoot someone who is in your yard.
Yes? fine.
Personally, I don't think it should be legal to shoot someone who is not threatening you with bodily harm. I had this conversation a long time ago at another place with someone who thought it was perfectly reasonable to shoot someone in the back who was stealing your tv. That's just stupid, in my opinion. It's a tv...or jewelry or money or computer, etc., etc. Why the hell is that worth shooting someone over? I understand that opinions vary, though.
