As a matter of fact, you could use your handgun to confront the burglar,
and probably use it with impunity if you felt your life was threatened.
But, if you shot the guy while he was fleeing, or, if you knew he was
unarmed but shot anyway just to detain him, you are definitely
overstepping legal bounds.
