IDK. Really depends on the scenario; like to think I'm smarter than to shoot a gun just because I have one without quickly assessing the situation first.
If I see it's only one looter and I can get a quick shot off, maybe I'd shoot, but only if I thought he presented a physical threat to me.
If the hurricane hasn't wiped out the trees or bushes surrounding the house, maybe I'd hide behind one, gun drawn, and shoot 'em as they attempted to run out with my 10 year old tv set and belt buckle collection. I really like my belt buckles. Tough call, are they worth killing over?
If I'm Six, F.U. or anyone else who has loaded guns in the house, for example, I'm gonna assume that there's more than one looter and they've got my weapons before I decide to go in, armed or not, to risk my life for "loot". Shoot one and the rest scramble is a comforting little mental picture; not a reliable reality though.
Now, if anyone entered my home uninvited in a normal daily life scenario and presented a threat to me or anyone staying with me, I'm shooting. No doubt.
