If you live in a state with laws like we have here in Florida, you could shoot him after he's down and be dancing on top of him when the cops show up. As long as he broke in, he's all yours.

You can be the test case for shooting someone again after it looks like the threat was removed.

Got a test for you.

Have burglar break in. Have him incapacitated on the ground, obviously unconscious when the cops arrive.

Then shoot him in the head in front of the law.
