Holding Criminals at Gun Point
Self defense isn’t about punishing criminals, our system is not set up that way. It’s nice if burglars get arrested, tried, and punished but that has very little to do with self defense. The goal of the defender is to protect themselves and their families from harm. That could have been accomplished by ordering the intruder to get out of the house (at gun point) and letting him do so.

I agree this is the worse of the 3, I’d perfer they run away, hope I don’t have to shoot them, but having to hold someone at gun point, and intereact with LE can get messy real fast
With Tunnel Vision, Auditory Exclusion, and everybody being affected by it even the LE’s, things can go from bad to worse very quickly. Responding officers don’t know the homeowner from the BG, could have been poor training, poor judgement. The best is if you get the drop on them, is just to tell them to go.
Wow, thats a really clever way of tkhinnig about it!
