For me, in my home... I guess I would say I'm less interested in protecting possessions. I have insurance... However if they come up the stairs where the bedrooms are, they will either be dead, or wish they were. This is about my family's safety. Never show up to war with the smallest force possible. You always overwhelm, and you make sure whatever way their body leaves... they are too maimed or too dead to ever do it again. Preferably the latter to reduce the possibility of a lawsuit. I would hate to ever have to do it...however the lives of my girls are more important than theirs. The line is "they kept coming, I told them to stop 3 times, and they kept coming, so I shot, and they kept coming, so I kept shooting".

Regardless, if someone is willing to do you or your family harm, the most humane thing to do is make sure they can't ever do it to anyone else again. Nonlethal measures can't do that, nor can they stop someone with certainty. The police can't prevent them from doing it again either.
