And the worst things is he charges at you, and killing you while your mouth is still talking.....

If that would not succeed, I would probably try and assault him in a way that could not have permanent consequences (physically, that is). Break a leg or an arm in the the worst case, something that will incapacitate him for the moment, but can be healed eventually.

I will not murder anyone for breaking into my house, I'm sorry.
This was a better option.... aim for the right hand..... a maimed limb could be re-attached if you call ambulance in 24 hours.... while you store the burglar's hand in your freezer
