I am still finding this thread disconcerting. And I think Richard has a good idea.
Having thought about the issue, it seems that I need to "fort-ify" my home. As I do not live with a team/squad, my level of security is never 100%, and is often 0%. Further, my cyclic rate of fire is much, much lower than when I had access to an M-4, M-249, or M-240. Moreover, I have no access to claymores, and my birddogs and other critters would blow every trip wire I could emplace.
Accordingly, out of necessity, using a firearm at an attacker who is inside my house would signify a failure of my defense plan.
My worry is, personally, not two dudes breaking in looking for $ to buy meth. My fear is one professional whose target is me.
My old senior Echo is a US Marshall, and has done a lot of personal security for big-named people. He made a comment that has stuck with me to this day: "If a guy who is good wants to get a shot at you, he is going to get a shot at you."
