Well, since it seems an agreement can't be made on paintball gun, air gun or whatever, just shoot him with a "real" gun and be done with it. This and the death penalty is where I part ways with the rest of the liberal philosophy. If someone commits a crime, then they should be prepared to die; if not, then just don't do it. A man has a right, whether given by the government or not, to defend himself and his family from unwanted intruders.
From what I hear, either the Florida law (or the national law, but I think it's just Florida) on this has changed and you don't have to haul them into your house anymore if you shoot them in your yard to be within the law. I don't own a gun or have ever fired a "real" one, but I believe people should have this right.
