>The chance of a problem is slim as the intruder was in the Airman's home and the Airman did not know if the burglar(s) were armed or not. I recall an incident here where two jerks were breaking down a pensioner's back door to gain entry. The pensioner fired his double barrelled shot gun through the door killing one of the jerks. No charges were laid.

Explosive charges? That would be too much. An overkill, I daresay.
