You should be glad you're not Swedish. A friend of mine had his house broken into and he hit the burglar with an 8 iron (he had been practicing his grip while in bed) and crushed the burglar's windpipe. He did two years for involuntary manslaughter. Clean record. The reason for the conviction was that the burglar hadn't attacked him, hence it wasn't deemed as self defence. After six months he was allowed to spend weekends with his family outside the penitentiary. He never paid for a beer at the club until he got out.
Thats the difference between countries and our rights. The Europeans aren't allow to protect themselves, and insist on banning anything deemed dangerous.
So what should you friend have done? Shown the burglar where everything of value was? Ask him to kindly leave? Ask him to punch him so he could bash his head in... legally?
This isn't the place for the discussion, but I'll leave it at that.
