AITA for shouting at kids for entering my home?

My partner (34F) and I (29M) were sitting in our living room at about 5 pm.

The front door was behind us.

I heard the handle go, so I turned around and saw the door fly open.

This man went outside and yelled at some kids running away.

Without thinking, I jumped over the sofa.

I ran out on the road to see a group of kids running away.

I shouted, “Don’t open my friggin’ door. No one!”

His partner told him he shouldn’t have done that.

So, I got back in the house.

My partner told me that they’re just kids, that it was a cowardly way to act and he wouldn’t have done it had it been adults.

He said he was only protecting their house.

I responded that if it were adults, I would’ve done whatever it took to protect our home.

That I chose not to chase them, because they were kids, but I couldn’t just say nothing to this violation in privacy.

Was my reaction really out of line?

He was protecting his home. I think he would’ve done the same thing or more if it had been adults.
