Maybe ask them to write down a detailed summary of their intentions in your house? I mean not all people that break into houses while the owners are sleeping with the thought of burglarizing them are bad people, right? Break-ins never go bad and innocent people are never harmed. Just let them steal what they want and if you're nice, help them load up.

Get the fuck outta here. I seriously think you just troll for the sake of trolling. You honestly can't be this dumb in real life.
My problem with people owning firearms is the track of training and lack of understanding of tactics.

The recent shooting in Vegas this year is good example. Two gunman shot two police officers and fled to a local Walmart. There a civilian armed with a handgun felt empowered to take them on. The civilian had no understand of the tactical situation at all, and failed to notice a second gunman. The civilian opened fire, missed, and was then shot and killed.

This civilian felt empowered by having a handgun and thought he could handle the situation, and very, very wrong - and paid for it with his life.

People on this board have said that if someone breaks into their house at night they would engage them with their firearm. Really? Are you really going to engage an unknown amount of people in your house in the dark and start a firefight? What if your daughter was just thirsty? Are you going to end up shooting your dog because they knocked something over in the dark?
