As the law stands, it is possible to sue the owner of a house you are breaking into under 2 circumstances: (1) if the homeowner used excessive force to disarm you; and (2) if the homeowner has booby-trapped the house.

Yep, it's the truth. And it's sad. I don't see why I, as a homeowner, must limit how much ass kicking I lay down on a B&E bastard when he's in my house without me saying so. He's there and I don't know what he's capable of. I'm not going to interview the prick before I commence with a fight to find out if he's a black belt in Kenpo or carrying hidden weapons on his person to justify what I'm about to do to him. That's just pathetic.
