And yes you may have killed him, or you may have got a bullet or 2 into him while he charged you and got your gun away from you - this is actually the far more likely scenario statistically.
Thats the NRA's dirtiest little secret and the fact they try to suppress the hardest: Gun owners are far FAR more likely to be killed by an intruder who has taken their gun away from them than they are to successfully defend themselves.

These type of often quoted anti-gun rights aggregate statistics- even in the rare instances when they are true- are often irrelevant to an individual gun owner. For example, gun control people are quick to tell you that guns are often used in the home by family members in domestic disputes and that you are more likely to be shot with a gun by someone who lives in your own house than by a stranger or that your children are at risk for getting access to your gun and killing themselves or a sibling. But so what? I live by myself, scare mongering statistics like that don't apply to me and the loaded gun I keep within arms reach.
