You own it legally, have the required permits etc. Then you wake up one morning to find strangers pointing a gun at your 13 year old niece and shouting at her. It seems like you would be legally justified in shooting at them (the wisdom of doing that is a different question). What would happen to you? They're in your house illegally (no warrant), pointing guns and shouting. You have no idea who they are. Even if they stated who they are how do you know you can believe them? You have very little time to decide whether or not this is some kind of attempt to abduct the girl and then to decide what to do about it.
