I'd rather risk hurting others with lethal measures and kill any criminals attacking me in my home. If I didn't at least try to stop them I could not live with myself. Anyone they hurt after I surrendered without taking action would be blood on my hands. That would haunt me to my grave.
Non-lethal measures are for those who are out in public (depending on the situation), or are LEOs. In your home, you have to decide what your life means to you, and how much you care about those who know you.
Sometimes you have to make hard decisions and live with the consequences. People who are assaulting you in your own home are not normal people, they are animals. Animals that prey on the weak. God gave us free will, and some people make bad choices, choices that cause us to need to protect ourselves against them.
