So let me see if I understand this correctly... You were invaded, had a firearm, was unable to pull it out in time, and then later on the firearm was used against you?

The firearm was not mine. It belonged to the owner of the house. The owner was trained in its use. The firearm (handgun) was in the living room, but the owner was in the kitchen during the breakin. There was also a Mossberg shotgun in the bedroom closet, which left it similarly out of reach.
I was in the basement suite with my ex both times. Not fun. Not at all. But everyone survived and noone was hurt other than the broken arm. The bad guys were never caught, but all the got was money and a few jewelry items and my entire CD collection
so no huge harm was done. The whole ordeal (both times) was done in 10-20 minutes.
I shudder to think how things would have escalated if a gun went off.
