8. Explain "proportional force" to me, please.

A guy is breaking into my home in the middle of the night. My kids are upstairs, on the main floor level where he is coming in. I don't know his intentions, but since he has not been invited in, I can only surmise that he is not here to leave me a housewarming gift. I only know he's in my house, very close to my children. I grab my gun and run upstairs to confront him.

How should I respond with only "proportional" force?
