Getting there in Arizona. A homeowner may assume mortal danger if facing an intruder in his home, whether a weapon is seen or not. Changed to that last year IIRC. In Phoenix a few years back a car owner was not prosecuted for shooting a fleeing man who had been trying to break into his car.
The first apartment I had, in Oakland CA, was in a very rough neighborhood. My apartment was burglarized three times in a two week period, but nobody ever bothered anybody's car on the street. A quick death was too much to hope for if caught.
