Yes, you are.
And a "strong response" is exactly what is ALWAYS necessary when the decision is made to utilize your firearm for personal defense.
You do not shoot to warn, nor shoot to wound. You discharge your weapon until you are satisfied that they are no longer a threat.
Basic rules of firearm use...only point your weapon at something you are willing to destroy.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
