As a non- lawyer I say yes. If I am approached by masked men putting on gloves and shooting ALL GAS NO BREAKS!

Don't think that's the law in California.

No, but it is where I live

Texans tend to shoot people first then wonder who the fuck that was. In the country there are lots of places to put a body and several species of wildlife that will eat anything dead. Wild pigs can probably devour a human in under a day, coyotes two or three.

No responses to this comment, but it seems like that’s a truly pertinent question! If these Gestapo Agents don’t unmask and identify themselves, they are as culpable of any intruder and depending on the state, seems perfectly acceptable to shot at them.🤷🏻‍♀️
