.........be surprised by a home invasion."

Not if you've made your home a hard target - in which case you'll be alerted by noise.....most likely loud noise. Are you aware that there is synthetic film that can be applied to glass which makes it extremely difficult to punch through?

There is much more likelihood that you will be killed, if you try dealing with home invasion with a gun.

And your evidence for this is tucked away where? Data from the National Crime Victims Survey says the direct opposite. Of course, since Dr. Gary Kleck sifted through the data to prepare the following charts, they can be dismissed.....right?
