See, I don't understand why. If it was a gun and he shot the guy three times until he had stopped/fallen to the ground, I don't think people would care whether he was trained or not. If a stranger breaks into my house, you bet I would assume he could harm me, and I'd defend myself with whatever I could find - baseball bat, gun, sword, Mag Light
- and I don't think I'd stop until I thought the guy was no longer a danger to me (or until he ran off). Even if this guy's hand was practically chopped off, who's to say he didn't have a gun in his belt that he could shoot with the other hand?
I think home burglars have to be some of the stupidest people around, especially to do it at night when people are likely there.
