This is exactly my reaction. I don't have kids or pets. I get woken up in the night and my wife is next to me, I'm dialing 911 on my phone and handing it to her with instructions to keep her finger over the "call" button until I come back. After that, anything moving in our house should be a fair target. I'm still not going to shoot at shadows or movement, but I can be sure that anyone I find in my house at that point is an intruder.
