Batter, no. Shoot, HELL YES! I've been in jobs before like pizza delivery where I was told to just give the robber what he wants because it isn't worth your life. My reasoning on that is what garantee do I have that after complying with the robber I will be safe? Simple, there is no garantee. Same as with an intruder in your home. Suppose I simply comply and let the burglar(s) have free run of the house? Who's to say I won't end up maimed or killed anyway? I'd rather die on my feet than on my knees. That said, I have been in positions where I had to draw. Once I even fired a warning shot. I'm still here in one piece and with no losses to theft. Will it be an easy thing to do to shoot an intruder? No. It wasn't an easy thing to draw and fire in the past. It will be an even less easy thing to see a dead body on my floor and live the rest of my life knowing I have taken a life. I hope I never have to face that situation, but I am as prepared as I can be should it happen.
Not every state in the US allows you to blast away at an intruder. I was told by a police officer that if you shoot someone on your property, the police better find him IN your house, and he should have a gun lying next to him... and you should wipe your prints off it before you put it there.
What would you do if you found an intruder in your house?
The low-life would have his evening of fun disrupted by two very ferocious JRT's(Jack Russell Terriers), then his evening would be highlighted by several .380 hollow point rounds entering his person, and ending his life. I pull NO punches when it comes to the safety of my family.

May gawd have mercy on the dumb bastards soul who breaks into my home.
I would not shoot the dumb ars but only because I got rid of all guns in my house when I had children.
I would paralize him though. Maybe even poke an eye out or two.
If someone takes it upon themself to forceably come into my home where my family is they forfit all thier rights and I don't give a rats ass what the law says about it.
In an effort to punish the burglar to the fullest extent of the law---and perhaps crossing over to "cruel and unusual punishment"--I would strap him to a chair and make him listen to the Kingdom Melodies for HOURS.
He knew the risk he took when he came into my house. He's a dead man.
And, as the cock crew, those who stood before The tavern shouted--"Open then the door! "You know how little while we have to stay, "And, once departed, may return no more."
