Kudos to the resident for being able to wrestle with an armed burglar. Personally, I think that is too risky for me. I won't mind supplying the gun and ammo to shoot him with, and I'll even do the work.
According to one regular poster here, this burglar's ski mask shows that he intended no harm to his victims.

SUMMARY: Resident sees bad guy has broken into his truck at night to steal laptop, confronts BG, BG came out of the truck and towards the resident, resident shoots BG in hip, not life threatening. Resident calls 911. No arrests at this time.
It will be a while before he sits down for his meals. KS has strong Castle Doctrine laws. That is a real pain-in-the-ass for this thief.

SUMMARY: CCW holder drops by his own home to use bathroom, two armed men in home demand his money, CCWer give them bullets instead, hits one goblin several times in chest and legs, both goblins run away, wounded one shows up at hospital.
Multiple hits in chest and legs and the BG runs away? Time to get a bigger gun.
His CCW does come into play on this one. Without it, he would not have had a gun on him when he needed it.
