If I'd had easy, perhaps constitutional, access to guns, it's probable I would have had one in reach. The police would be similarly tooled as a matter of course and would have been prepared for me to 'defend' myself in an extremely confused home invasion scenario. I would probably never even have had chance to do more than reach for my gun before I became next morning's headline.
I will never forget in my Ethics in Law class when we discussed this 80 something year old woman who died this way. Someone entered the address wrong. So they swat invaded her house expecting to find drug dealers. She had a gun under her pillow which she managed to point at them before they all opened fire.
