It's not about people whose house is broken into. It's about the other people.
Using the Castle Doctrine say,the three of us were chilling at my house and a robber breaks in. We run to the back of the house where my kitchen (and gun is).
There is a backdoor behind us.
I can stay in my kicthen and shoot him legally. Meanwhile, you two can't shoot him.
You have a way to escape, and because it's not your house you therefore have a duty to try and get away first since you aren't being menaced on your property with stuff you own.
This would stay true if say... I went to the store, then the robber broke in.
Now if there is no door and the robber is menacing, all three can shoot, as there is no way to retreat.
