Not in most jurisdictions, if not all. There is a famous case or example (not sure if it is real, I think it was) of someone booby trapping his garage to shoot upon entry, after a number of break ins. Sure enough, someone broke in, the booby trap went off, and the burglar was killed. The owner was convicted of murder.
At least that's how I recall the story. I'd have to look it up ... or maybe someone recalls better than me.

There's a whole line of "spring gun" cases with similar fact patterns.
