No of course not.if someone breaks into your home and you succeed in subduing him, do you feel justified in killing him just for the heck of it?
If someone breaks into my home while I am home and they are subdued then everything is working out great for them. It is either daylight or the lights are on, allowing me to see thier hands are not filled with a lethal weapon. They made no aggressive motions and complied 100%, and they are not making me feel threatened.
It is my home, and I don't care what the odds are of me prevailing in a struggle. Whether they are 80%/20% in my favor or 50/50. I did not sign up to gamble with my life by participating in that struggle. I am not obligated to play the odds even if they favor me.
I am doing my best to keep it 100%/0% if it comes to it, and if that means they get shot at the first sign of making a move that could put me at risk then that is unfortunate.
If that move is getting up when I am right next to them, especialy if they have accomplices that could jump in to support them, then I will do what I feel is necessary to keep control of the situation. It is not a give and take negotiation. It is they will pose no threat while in the home one way or another, period. Whether that requires a bullet is up to thier actions and my discretion.
Keep in mind, if you lose control of the situation, lose control of your weapon it can effect not just your life but your family's as well when the criminals gain control. You may be willing to gamble with your life if the odds favor you, but your family too?
Will they then execute you? Your family? Rape some of them and then burn them alive like the poor family in CT?
Even a little punk you could prevail against without a doubt one on one can get lucky, you can fall back and hit your head knocking you out etc
They can pull a weapon in a sudden fast move.
If they have others that can jump up and support them if the opportunity presents itself it is especialy dangerous.
Even if just one charges you or grabs your weapon it can be all the others need to jump up and join in to overpower you.
So I do not wish to kill someone that breaks in, but I am not going to take any gamble with my safety.
They likely would never even be taken into custody if I can't see thier empty hands when I first run into them. Whether that is because it is too dark, or because of thier actions. They get a brief moment to comply IF I feel safely in control of the situation.
If they are likely or may be armed and in a group I am using the element of surprise. This is not the movies, if 2+ people have firearms and you ask them to freeze and they both shoot at you you are very likely to be shot before you can end the threat.
You better be shooting one that does not see it coming, and already firing on the others before they can react and open fire.
You are not acting as a police officer, you did not sign up to take people into custody and assume some risk. If they wish to safely be taken into custody they better pose no threat.
You are defending your life and the life of anyone else in your castle.
In the days before firearms I would not even have been that generous. Back then you couldn't decisively end the threat if they posed a sudden threat and were better off just using lethal force from the start. So firearms actualy give the option to even refrain from lethal force.
