First of all, it wasn't even a stranger in this case. And secondly, we have strict laws around firearm storage and locks that makes the likelihood of being able to grab, unlock and use a firearm against an intruder highly unlikely.

I understand, I wasn't talking about this case, I don't want to conflate the two. But I think if someone breaks into your house at night and could potentially kill you, it just seems common sense to be able to defend yourself - the truth is not everyone out there is harmless and innocent.
