No. I would prefer the law to reflect the wishes of society and be more protective of the victim. I do not think the victim of an attack should have the added burden of having to calculate what is proportionate while they and their family are under attack.
If they successfully repelled an attack and an intruder was fleeing and they gave chase, or shot them in the back, that would be another matter and something clear cut.
