I'm sorry, but I would much rather have someone steal my TV instead of myself having shot and killed my wife or daughter by mistake.

Identify your target prior to shooting always.
In my home I investigate noises at night with no weapon at all or sometimes only a blade in my hand. I am mouse quiet however and knife beats gun at 12-15 feet in a closed familiar space. So whatever...... I am with you on the not wanting to shoot my loved ones by mistake, and I haven't pulled the gun out of the safe as a means of household security since my son was born.
It is there if needed though, for more pressing engagements!
