If someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night, odds are not only will I not handcuff him, I probably won't even see him. I'll be barricaded behind a solid core door with my shotgun and dialing 911.
The best way to survive (physically, mentally, and legally) an encounter with a home intruder is to avoid it.
I know this is not an option for some folks due to floor plans, other family members, and whatnot, but in my house it is a great option.
