5. In a word, no. You do have a right to self defense with force proportionate to the threat reasonably perceived.

Check your state law as to whether it recognizes stand your ground and/or the castle.

You do not have a hunting license, anymore than they would, assuming the threat is actually less amorphous than what you describe. If you are attacked, or credibly threatened with imminent deadly force, then you can defend yourself. I would suggest asking a lawyer in your state exactly what your rights are.
