I don't think that the use of lethal force is necessary to protect your home there are plenty other ways to deter a thief, sure a bat/golf club isn't very practical (long swinging weapons in tight spaces?) but the look of a guy in his underwear wielding a kitchen knife, I would think, would be enough to make most thiefs head to the door. This of coarse changes if the would be thief is armed, in witch case I think any and all means because that guy has come in to do damage.
