I sympathize, but obviously not the thing to say in an actual incident.
Be prepared if you ever have to resort to deadly force for self defense.
Learn to say the words “I was in fear of my life” and “I want my lawyer now”, then say nothing more. You are justified to use deadly force only when in fear of your life or the life of others with you.
Do not give anyone the opportunity to think you have a premeditated plan to kill. Do not use home reloaded ammunition. Expect to be arrested and your gun confiscated. Expect huge legal ramifications. But of course be grateful you are not the dead crime victem.

truly words to live by
This depends on the state. Even this won't do in MA, NY etc. you have to retreat from the criminal to the maximum extent possible in these police states. OTO in Texas their a$$ is yours if they break in.
No premeditation about it. If the perp has no business being in my house, I will kill him. To allow him to wander around, hurt, maim, kill my housemates or me is preposterous. If I can possibly kill him, I'll do it. He will not be a repeat offender when I get done with him.
“You are justified to use deadly force only when in fear of your life or the life of others with you.”
That varies from state to state. In Washington state you can use deadly force anywhere you are legally allowed to be to stop a felony.
