Everything I have read on guns in the home is negative, not positive. I personally do not see how having a gun can save your life if someone breaks into your home with a gun and intent to kill you.
Life isnt like the movies, most homeowners have the gun locked up in a case, with a triggrerlock and the bullets stored in another (probably locked) case. By the time you did that all out and load your gun, the bad guys have your wife and kids tied up in the bathroom and you lose.
The stats I have read, show that homeowners with guns in the home tend to have those guns used against them.
Most people who break into a house are after money and goods - they arent out to take lives. If you dont have a gun, they break in, take your shit and leave, you file a police report, collect insurance and buy bigger locks. Life goes on.
If you have a gun, pull it out, get in a struggle and get shot, your family loses you and you die. I dunno....
