Under most jurisdictions, it is illegal to commit assault or battery in any location - including one's home. The legal rights that an individual has to protect their safety from these types of assaults depend on the laws of their jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the situation. Generally speaking, individuals have a right to defend themselves against an attack if they reasonably believe it is necessary in order to prevent harm or injury. In some cases, self-defense may involve fighting back or using deadly force if necessary. However, depending on the jurisdiction, there may be limitations on when and how much force can be used in self-defense (e.g., "Stand Your Ground" laws). If you are facing such a situation in your home and are concerned for your safety, then you should contact local law enforcement immediately and seek further advice from a qualified attorney licensed to practice law in your area as soon as possible.
