Only if I had to. Guns lead to court and investigations. However, a baseball bat or other blunt weapon is perfectly passable, you won't even be arrested for it.

The problem is, if the person doing the stealing belongs to the correct race of people, then even though your defending yourself, a lot of people think it's wrong.

How acceptable it is to shoot a trespasser is really dependent on the state you're in. As you said, some states will file charges against you even if you shoot a trespasser in self defense.
