I noticed the term "Castle Doctrine" in one of the comments so I looked it up. I happen to live in a "Castle Doctrine" state, but under the 'Conditions of Use" I cannot protect myself against law enforcement officers. I assume them busting into the wrong house would be classified "legal duties." The intruder must be acting illegally—e.g. the Castle Doctrine does not give the right to attack officers of the law acting in the course of their legal duties In all cases, the occupant(s) of the home must be there legally, must not be fugitives from the law, must not be using the Castle Doctrine to aid or abet another person in being a fugitive from the law, and must not use deadly force upon an officer of the law or an officer of the peace while they are performing or attempting to perform their legal duties. en.wikipedia.org
