Perhaps it's different in the US - but here most burglars break into houses to steall stuff and not to kill everybody who lives there. I wouldn't call that a life or death situation.

You make it seem like trying to protect yourself is a bad thing
I cannot quite follow the connection you are making between my statement and the examples you are giving.

My statement did not even imply that a burglar has the right to break into your house and steal things.
I said that by confronting an armed burglar with a gun you might actually create a life and death situation (i.e. putting your life and the life of your family at risk) when originally you "only" had a burglary.

Indeed - as soon as you confront an armed burglar it probably boils down to that. I tend to value my life and that of my family higher than any possessions a burglar might take.
