Does anybody know the laws regarding home defense in Virginia? I was just wondering, if a BG enters your home in the middle of the night and you hear your bedroom door open, you have your gun cocked and locked, can you shoot on sight? or do you have to wait to find out if they have a weapon or attack you?
My personal instinct would tell me to shoot first. It's totally dark in my bedroom and I don't want to find out the hard way that this guy had a gun. I don't want to give him a chance to get me first.
Any opinions or facts on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
