Indeed, it happens all the time... "Robbery/Home Invasion 'gone bad'" they like to call it on the news...

That said, I don't necessarily condone the possession of automatic rifles or amassing your own personal arsenal or setting up traps involving marbles or blowtorches or any of that crazy stuff...
I'd settle for a Colt Single Action Army, just in case I had a 3:00a.m. run-in with an elephant.

No, because not all home invasions involve a confrontation with the home owners.
And not all confrontations that do occur involve guns.
Then, of course, there's the Slomin's Shield.
