As I stated, it was a layman's explanation of the law for those that don't have the formal legal education or LEO training/experience dealing with such crimes on a regular basis in Maryland.
Personally, if someone breaks into my home -- and I'm home -- they will either comply to be detained, or will face the consequences if they attempt to use force.
I am certain there are prosecutors in MD that would claim this to be an act of aggression itself. Only acts of de-escalation are acts of de-escalation.
