I am thinking that the best restraining you can do when a intruder appears to capitulate would be restraining yourself from shooting him. I don't think One of the "kill em all" crowd has ever had to take a life in combat, SD, or otherwise. You could hold him at gunpoint till LE arrives however, you will be the one pointing a gun at another when the adrenalin charged cavalry arrives. That could be more life threatening than the initial intrusion. I don't have the ultimate answer! I think it is different by case and individual. Just remember, a clean shoot will still affect your life and you may be suprised at how few pats on the back you get. So, if being a hero in your own mind is what you are looking for then by all means "castle doctine away"
