The non-lunatic course of action would be to confront them with the gun, wait until they ran, then report it to the police. I mean fucking hell.

There's a few non-lunatic options. The safest thing to do would probably be to barricade yourself into a room, call the police, and leave the house if possible.

Because by the time you have barricaded yourself and called the police, the burglar would of already left. Therefore making the powers of the police redundant.
As Tubbsalot already mentioned, the smartest thing to do would be to confront and scare them into leaving.

And going to confront them sounds like it could only be more dangerous than staying put or leaving.

He has a large knife in the example, I'm not going be stupid and assume he's not violent. For all I know he could be a complete lunatic. I'm going to assume if he has a large knife, breaking into my house, he is willing to use it. If that criminal didn't want to get killed, than he shouldn't of broken into my house with a weapon, putting my life and my family members lives in danger. I protected my life and he will serve as an example to other possible criminals.

As to the example, I wouldn't know until it happened.
Personally, I don't actually want to kill anyone.

Mmm well that's a reasonable assumption in this case, because the OP asks you to consider a situation where a robber is stealing your shit.
If this was meant to be realistic, I wouldn't suggest using a gun, because I don't own one. I'd just say you should grab a solid bit of something and make some noise going towards them. Thieves generally not known for their murderous instincts.

Did you even bother reading my post? Let me reiterate: in the event that your non-violent robber suddenly turns murderous and has absolutely no self-preservation instinct whatsoever, you have a gun.
Your flippant dismissal of the seriousness of, er, murder, doesn't do you any favours.

Funny, I don't think you read mine.
Oh, I'd be heart broken for defending myself and family members in the house against some idiot breaking in with a weapon. So heart broken.
