Question: If I wound an intruder, whats the best way to finish him off while staying inside the "justifiable force" guidelines? I'm pretty sure if I walk up to his prone body and do a double tap to head & chest I could be charged with something.

That varies from state to state. In my home state of Tennessee, according to the Tennessee Code, the TCA, if an intruder unlawfully enters your home it is assumed under the law that your life is in danger and you can shoot to kill. If an intruder is unlawfully on your property you can use whatever non-lethal force is necessary to hold them until the authorities arrive.

Keep repeating,"I was in fear for my life", over and over.

ANSWER:
Use a 12 Gauge Shotgun with 00 buck shot.
If the scum survives that, run like hell, cause he is super human.
