That's a very good point.I think I get where you're coming from: In this scenario, there's no risk of me going to jail if I stay in my house. And there's no risk of the perp being injured or dying if I allow him to steal my property.
Maybe it's a stretch, but this philosophy reminds me of arguments made against LEOs initiating arrests when the use of deadly force is not warranted. When it goes bad there are cries of, "He was killed for speeding." No, he was killed because he resisted arrest and threatened an officer's life. If the perp decides to escalate the situation, it's not the officer's fault when he has to use deadly force against an elevated deadly threat. Similarly, if a thief chooses to attack me on my property, rather than stop or run away, what happens next is not my fault.
