    If you've already got a pistol, you could buy pistol shotshells. From what I can tell, those are non-lethal, even if you aim for the head. But I echo everyone else's sentiment; if your home is invaded, that person is a felon, and anything goes on their part. Be prepared to do the same.

      They are designed to be shot at from a distance and at targets similar to police baton 'less than lethal' areas (e.g. thighs, legs, etc.)
      E.Fudd hit this one! Any hit to the head or chest with a bean-bag round can kill. Hence the term "less lethal".
