In some jurisdictions, your plan would be appropriate. In those, the law states that a forcible, unlawful entry into your home provides a reason for you to believe that you are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.

Not so in some others.

Now that you have publicly stated your intention, let's hope that you live in a state that falls into the first category and/or that you are never in a situation in which your having shot someone was not clearly justified and that the justification is not supported by the evidence.
