How Much Harm Can You Ethically Inflict To Stop A Threat of Harm By a Sane Adult?

Since we have taken getting caught out of the equation and we have also established that this is the only way to stop him (and implicitly then that this will stop him), it just boils down to ethics and conscience.
Personally it would be the first two discussions that would bother me (would I inflict more harm on my family by being caught, would it work and are there better ways?). Since these are all out of the way, it's leg-breaking time.
However, I think you could reasonably argue that the biggest part of the discussion is taken out of the equation.
