You don't need a gun license to own/have a gun in your own home, legally you need to have it registered but you don't need a concealed carry permit (I imagine that's what you meant by gun license) to protect your self or your family on your property, that said you can not shoot someone for stealing property, you can only legally shoot someone if you feel your life or someone's life is in immediate danger, the laws are state specific so it may be slightly different in your area but the general consensus is unless they have a weapon or are threatening yours or someone's life you can't shoot them. Some of the laws are absolutely ridiculous, there has been several cases where thief's break into a home, get shot by the owner, sue the owner and then win in court, it happens and its ridiculous our courts let it happen.
where i live you need a firearms lisence to buy a gun pretty sure, either way im going to take my lisence and hunting license and purchase one and add a house door with deadbolts to the shop, screw 2x6's over the old door from the inside, add a small security system, and anytime im drying in the shop or close to harvest i am going to be on alert, probably throw a matress out there and sleep out there for last week or 2. and if anyone came back itll be the last thing they do.
