"...caught him trying to break in through his back door..."

Bugs Bunny chimes in...

Know just enough to wonder:

1) She just announced she owns guns and where she keeps them with pictures of the gun safe. Ok, pros and cons to that.
2) She passed through line of fire of her husband/partner instead of getting the subject flat or circling around the other side. I think that's a no-no.
3) Why take him in the house in confined spaces instead of outside on the lawn when he exits? And then way too many people enter the house before the guy is restrained.

Really? I think they handled it perfectly well for being homeowners and not part of a SWAT/Police/Military team.

But...she makes a point of saying that they are ex-military...
Oh well, just saying.

I'm not sure all military personnel are trained in indoor armed arresting....nor do I think those with that training always do it right.
While I see mistakes, they aren't worse than an average arrest by multiple police. For mostly untrained neighbors, I thought they did OK. No one got hurt or shot, and he didn't get away. I call that success, mistakes notwithstanding. Not perfect, but a solid "B" imo.

I cringed when she stepped in front of the gun. Taping him up on the spot seems a reasonable tactic, delaying and taking him outside introduces more potential variables and possible trouble.
