That's not as black and white as you make it out to be, either.  

"Any force used against an intruder must usually be proportionate to the harm that is reasonably perceived."

But, I understand what you're saying.

This is some BS. There is no telling what harm an intruder will do. He could murder you for all you know.

Like it or not, use of deadly force, even in a home intrusion could result in legal action against you.  I think part of the problem is the law tries to make acception for every eventuality.
