I have no problem with a bill that allows people to protect their homes.  There have been some oddball (at least they were to me) cases where the criminal received damages claimed against the person he/she was robbing since the owner shot him.  I'll have to see if I can find some examples of it for you. 

However, there has to be clear evidence that the person broke into the home, and that he wasn't just wandering outside the house.  I think Texas allows homeowners to shoot at people they "feel" are going to break in.
