It might not be the smartest move from a safety perspective but it just isn't illegal and there is no statute you can cite that will support that position. You might not be doing yourself any favors if you call the police and say, "I just saw a guy go in my house while I was at the neighbor's house across the street. I'm going over to my house to kill the son-of-a-bitch! You better send the cops." But simply entering your home knowing there might be a threat to you or your property inside is not illegal.
I have been trying to stay from the dumb argument LOL... but I agree with Bailey. I posted a break in thread almost 2 years ago. In that time, a meth head who was evicted broke back into the rental property. The neighbor called me, I called 911, told them I am armed and I am checking out the property. I was told by dispatch, not to, but I insisted as I thought he fled already. Dispatch told me it was ultimately my choice, but keep clear of the DPD. Dispatch asked for my description and detail of where about I was and hang up. Well DPD must be real busy that night, one officer showed up 45 min later.

After clearing the house, he came back out and chat with me. He was in a such hurry that he never asked for my ID or even my name. But I did get to ask him, what would have happened if I confronted the guy and I am forced to defend myself (sort of trick question). His answer was short "Meth head vs property owner? Property owner wins, just dont talk to anyone but your lawyer. With that, he took off to the next call.
