I believe the law was changed here not so long ago and you are actually allowed to use force to protect yourself, family or property (about time for it too) not that whether it was legal or not would even enter your head I think if it actually happened, I think you would just react really, the whole fight or flight adrenaline would kick in.

Your perspective sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
Basically what yur saying, is, when it comes to violence...
If you are minding your own business, and someone intrudes, the person being intruded upon should get the benefit of the doubt. Not the intruder.
If someone intrudes, they should expect a violent reaction. That's how i feel.
You cannot intrude on someone else, and expect to be considered a victim.
