A healthy fear should have been put into that woman!

Yes, the woman should be afraid to enter a locked apartment without knocking. However,
1) Threats are probably not a good thing to do for tenant landlord relations. Especially if you're not the tenant.
2) The castle doctrine is not that simple. It may not apply unless "force" was used to enter. Especially if the person entering had a key and the tenant knew they had a key.
3) Even an appropriate castle doctrine shooting is likely to cost you a lot of money, and you could easily end up in jail. You could easily end up getting convicted. "Members of the jury, the defendant obviously let the victim into the room, got into an argument and then fabricated the story of a breakin."
4) The woman could easily file charges against you for threatening her and it might take a lot of time, money, and hassle to clear things up. You could easily lose job opportunities because of your arrest record.
