In the progressive states of Texas and Indiana if the police mistakenly raid your home because they didn’t bother to double check the address on the warrant (or if they don’t get a warrant) and you kill them in self-defense then the law is on your side.
As it should be.

Here's a slightly different take with an unusual response/weapon. It seems the invaders numbers worked against them.
Location - Argentina
Home Invaders - 3 maybe 4 guys 2 guns.
Defenders - Man, wife and teenage son (altho I think the son never was physically involved) and the weapon was a katana.
Probable factors - Violence of action, mindset (total committing to defense of self and family), not afraid to die,
low light conditions and possibly somewhat confined quarters.
Outcome - Massive loss of blood and possible body parts by bad guys. No one died but it wasn't for lack of trying.
Note: The homeowner was not skilled with a blade and that day God smiled on him that day(lucky). It goes to show what proper mindset and not being afraid to commit or hesitate can do.

or just do what all these old farts on FR do - hunker down on your old commodor 64, chug that cheap bourbon, and armchair quarterback your way to safety while actually letting someone else do it!

I practice time on target a lot and will open fire on anyone who breaks down a door immediately. If it is a SWAT team making a mistake, I’ll be dead, but so will some of them.

Our standing SOP is the minute we hear our mobile alarm (Chihuahua named Coco) go off we grab the semi autos laying on each nightstand and hit the hallway one high one low. Anything coming down that hallway dies.

I’d guess it’s a LOT shorter time frame than that.

From a protected position, behind a wall if possible, the armed adult will train his or her gun down the hallway as he or she waits for the attackers to come down that hallway, what's called "the fatal funnel." ALSO DO NOT SAY "stop or I'll shoot"... that tells the criminal where you are - he will then shoot you. Criminals don't use the rules of 'fair play' or they wouldn't be criminals. Shoot to kill - and kill all that come within your 'fatal funnel'...

It's the middle of the night and your house is being invaded by armed men with guns who plan to take you hostageAnd if these armed men with guns happen to be SWATs and you respond with a gun or even a loud voice you will most likely be dead and all your possessions sequestered so that your survivors, if the rest of your family is not shot also, will have to have attorneys and a lot of time to regain some of the family property.

The law might be on your side but the “law” won’t be on your side. No way is that story going to have a happy ending.

The ubiquity of unannounced SWATs argues for the possession and skill in the use of fully operational M-60s or at least AK-47s.

I sleep on the far side of the bed from the bedroom door. There's just me in the house. Hanging from the bedpost is my 1911. On the floor, Mossberg 500, plug out, loaded sequentially with 00 and #4 shells. On the nightstand, three more mags for the 1911. I would just slip down onto the floor behind the bed and wait. Sooner or later one or more of them is going to come in that bedroom door.
