Trouble is, if I walloped someone with (for eg) a jo stick or bokken (which is just the kind of thing that might be to hand in our house), then I would have no clear idea of where non-lethal force ended, and lethal force began. And that's sat here discussing it; not with adrenaline pumping round my system.
I suspect most people wouldn't.
When we were burgled last year, our next door neighbour ran one of them down with a baseball bat and held him until the police arrived. The police were full of praise for him, but I always wondered what their reaction would have been if either party had been hurt.
