I'm with KLRANGL - I started reading a little faster when it got to the point that the homeowner was forced inside at gunpoint. Things get real tense then. At that point, you have to try to read the mood and intentions of the BG. If carrying out the TV is enough to get rid of him, fine, but you have to be evaluating his capacity for violence and looking for opportunities to counter him at that point. When he moved the homeowner inside, he moved closer to the homeowner's firearm and gave the homeowner a lot of other options for cover and bringing other objects into play for defense, and at the same time he presumably took one or both of his own arms out of action carrying stuff outside. If the threat of violence seems substantial, one would have to look for opportunities to take action during that sequence. But getting rid of the guy without bloodshed is still the safest option if it looks like a realistic possibility.
