I believe that the various factions are ‘Castle Doctrine’, ‘Stand Your Ground’, and ‘Duty to Retreat’.

I’d be interested to hear where in the U.S. each applies.

WA is a stand your ground state. Case law makes it practically a Castle Law state. The person defending has to articulate a reasonable fear of serious injury or death. That has been frequently interpreted as I was afraid he was in my house.
