I don't think that it is appropriate to use lethal force against an unarmed person who is not attacking you. Non-lethal force is fine. In my opinion, a 50,000+ volt taser is sufficient to deal with unarmed robbers and assailants. If someone is escaping, I don't want him to get away, but I wouldn't feel right shooting him in the back. If he only has a knife, I'd feel better about disabling him than killing him. If he has a gun, then I wouldn't have a problem shooting back or shooting first.
If you're breaking into my house, you should expect to give up some (not all) of your rights.
