Well, I’m 16 years old and live in Iowa. There have been a lot of armed robberies in my town currently and it’s a bit scary because I don’t live in the best neighborhood. I have a security cameras on my houses local Wifi network that i can view from my computer in my room they also record. If needed i could access a gun. But what i am wondering is will i get in trouble for protecting myself if someone Armed or otherwise breaks into my home trying to rob/hurt me??
