Re: order of protection
The short answer is no. The right to use deadly force is limited to situations when it is necessary to protect one's own safety or the safety of another, and then only when force of a lesser nature will not achieve the purpose. Unless the person at the door is threatening deadly force themselves, there is no right to use deadly force against them.
