I see NO reason whatever to take ANY risk to protect somebody who unlawfully KNOWINGLY enters an occupied dwelling. That's somebody who's either a risk taker or somebody who's working himself up to more extreme behavior.

If you don't want to get shot, you shouldn't be breaking into people's homes when they're there.

There was an episode of "Cold Case Files" where a guy heard a noise in his home late at night. He picked up a baseball bat and went to see what the noise was. It was a guy with a knife, who proceeded to stab him to death, rape his wife and set the house on fire. The wife was harassed for quite a while by the police, as their only suspect. Finally after around ten years, the real murderer/rapist was caught. The wife's closing comment on the show was that she wished that she'd been killed the night her husband was.

Still think the baseball bat is a good idea?
