If you walloped somebody who'd broken in with a jo and killed them (not hard to do) you'd be ok. If you chased them out of your house and then did so when you caught them, you wouldn't. If you chased them and restrained them, you'd be ok.
Once you start chasing somebody, you can't really claim to be acting in fear of your life, at which point you need to exercise restraint.
