Restricted is a whole different game, those must have a trigger lock and be in a locked case/gun safe unloaded!

I think you might want to review the content of the course you took before posting advice like that.
If there is somebody in your house you can use as much force as is necessary to defend yourself. There is no set guideline and it is situational so I can't really give an exact answer on what you can do everytime.
If you do come across somebody in your house you should think to yourself first though, the majority of people who break into houses are drug addicts. These people carry weapons when they do it and the majority of them have diseases like Hep C, HIV, etc. You should be concerned about getting stabbed or pricked with an infected needle. If you call the police in a major city and say somebody broke into your house and they are still in there, you will have an extremely quick response and we are trained to deal with it.
