Booby-trapping is illegal in all 50 States so far as I know. Bigtime illegal. Guy-dies-and-you-get-Murder-2 illegal.

It sounds like you handled the situation in the best possible way. Dumbass didn't get his head blown off, and you didn't have to blow any dumbass's head off. You lived, and so did he: hopefully long enough to reflect upon to error of his ways. Good work.
Next time, however, if Dumbass comes through the door, paint the walls with his brains.
