But seriously, in response to Penelope's post, firearms shouldnt be used for outright homicide. At most, a limb shot would be enough, I'd imagine.

To answer your question: The burglar's death should be as quick as possible.
Reason 1: You never know what kind of firepower it's packing.
Reason 2: You never know what it's intentions really are.
Reason 3: You may have to target a second burglar...or third...or fourth...etc
Reason 4: You don't know what kind of pain killing drugs it's on.
Reason 5: You may suffer a lawsuit and have to support it the rest of your life, and it's family.
Shooting it's limb and wounding it will only cause you tremendous headaches... Kill it and tell the law "I was in fear of my life and my family's I SHOT TO STOP IT "... anything less and your asking for trouble from bleeding heart liberal thinking folk who wish to spend your hard earned money on a rehabilitation programs that never works.
Let me repeat myself here.
Let it live or wound it and you will pay for it to sit in prison for a vacation and when it gets out it may seek revenge.
Kill it and tax dollars may pay for it's funeral and sleep at ease knowing that it will not be coming back.
If it weren't for all that ... I say peel the burglar and dip it in vinegar and hang it outside as a trophy and warning.
