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.

First off, I would like to say a Mag Light makes for a very good club. But to answer your point, he is going to be a little bit busy bleeding to death to be much of a danger.
