I guess each instance is unique from one to the next, but if I were to confront someone in my home at 3 a.m my first thought wouldn't be of passivisity, but rather to protect myself the best I could even if it meant violence. But, if 2 or 3 people are there then better to evacuate and call 911 than fight.
I've got a baseball bat by my bed (sorry no guns allowed in Canada) and a lead pipe under my drivers seat and if for an instance I feel my life is endangered, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them regardless if the perp is 16 or 60, male or female.
