Let's see here-ski mask, gun in hand, wife screaming. I suggest that any reasonable and prudent person would conclude that a violent crime is being committed. Personally, I would take cover behind my vehicles engine and confront the individual. I would not let the individual leave. Of course, I would have reacted immediately upon seeing an armed indiviudal, in disguise, on my property. Having only the details given in this scenario, and being the person that I am, I am fully justified in taking this action. Some other person, perhaps with extra-legal recreational activities, or diverse interpersonal relationships, may have to act in a different fashion. Remember, a deadly weapon is visible. The individual is disguised. My wife is screaming. All these lead the "reasonable and prudent" person that I am to the obvious conclusion. Stay safe.
