no no no no! you don't ACTUALLY shoot the guy....then you go to jail!
You use the gun to keep him there till the police arrive. This is the sole reason I have a laser sight on my Beretta. For some reason, criminals always think that if you do shoot at them then you are gonna miss, but if there is a dot on their chest they don't try anything.
When I was in high school, my car got broken into a lot. I asked an officer what I could do if I caught the guy red-handed, and he simply replied "call us." He then told me that if I were to physically restrain the subject I would be arrested for assault. Basically, if you catch a guy breaking into your car the only thing you can do is call the cops and watch the guy walk away with your stuff while the police finish eating thier donuts.
Now, with a 9mm pistol pointed at the guy with the laser, you can call the police on your cell phone and say "I have caught someone breaking into my car. I have my pistol trained on him right now. My address is XXX. I am wearing XXX."
Now that the police know that a firearm is involved, they will get there QUICK. Granted, you will have guns pointed at you when they show up and you will have to sit in the back of a police car, the would be thief will not have stolen anything and will be properly punished. He will als be much less likely to attempt something like that again.
