If it is an intruder and he comes to get you, you have an exponential advantage barricading in place. There's also the chance he flees, which is the best possible scenario.
Yes of course if you are not confrontational. There are many mindsets in these scenarios. I am one to do as the OP did. It's my place and I want a piece of anyone dumb enough to come in un-invited. If intruder was truly after you it would be hard to get out of bed, arm up and defend. Most likely a burglar who does not want to see you and would prefer fleeing. I prefer a more hands on approach.
This is JMHO and do agree with your statement if it is how you or others would prefer to defend your home.
