What is this, the old West?

If you are a responsible gun owner, particularly with children in the house, then your guns are locked up in safes and ammunition is stored elsewhere. That means if a home invasion takes place, then to defend yourself with your guns means the would be burglar will need to practice some patience while you retrieve your gun.

However, if you are an irresponsible gun owner, you have that gun locked and loaded in your nightstand, or under your pillow, where your 5 year old can find it, and use it, on themselves or others. Unless you don't have kids in that case, maybe the home invader gets it first, depends on where it is, or you get to use it in defense of home and family, maybe.
