First, as one who has actually drawn a gun in defense of myself, I feel I can answer your question more ably than those who have said they would never do so. When I was 16 years of age, my parents left for the weekend, leaving me at home alone. We lived close to a race-track, and sometimes some unsavory folks would come our way, so we would always keep our doors locked.
That night after my parents left, I heard a noise in our garage - so I retrieved my dad's 9 ml german luger, so that I would be prepared just in case. It happened that the noise was due to a stray cat, but I was ready regardless.
I think that we would all do what we could in order to protect those we love - wouldn't we? If someone was breaking into your house, and you thought they would hurt your family, wouldn't you try to do whatever you could to help fend them off until the police arrived? Wouldn't you grab a baseball bat or whatever was handy to keep them from hurting the ones you loved?
I know I would. It just so happens that I would head for my dad's shotgun to do so. I live in the country where it is absolutely sure that anyone who is trying to get into my mom's house isn't trying to get in for any good reason, so they need to get shot. Case closed.
