house is that you not be killed or wounded for the price of some property in your home.
If you are armed with a gun and know how to use it and believe that the burglar is likely to hurt or kill you, then use the weapon. Otherwise it would be better, in my opinion, to let the burglar steal the stuff and leave rather than trying to take him on with an inadequate weapon. The church people were very fortunate that the burglar was unarmed. If they were convinced enough that the burglars were coming to do a multi-person stakeout,then a policeman should have been with them.
