I would never shoot anyone for stealing any property, with the exception of maybe someone hurting or stealing my dog. The possibility of doing time over shooting someone for stealing stuff is not worth the consequences to me. An Ass beating would not be over looked though. Now if my life or someone elses was in iminent danger that is a whole different story. 2cents
