I understand you might not be the kind of guy, but if an intruder alerts me enough in my home close quarters to give me time to reach to a gun, It also gives me time to reach for my fists.
It's a stupid idea that guns can protect you at home. in close quarters, even if you are not too strong, a baseball bat does the trick.
I defended myself using a semi-auto rifle when I was 12 years old. Some thieves tried to break into our machine shed. When I came out of the house with them in my sights, he and friend quickly got back in their van and drove away. And I took down their license plate. They were caught a few days later.
Now maybe you think a 12-year old should not have a rifle, but I was trained by my brother and father to respect guns, realized that they were not toys, and had seen what they could do to a raccoon or possum.
