No. And I refuse to own guns. The reason is:
1. If they come into your house, the chances are that they have guns too. By the time you've gotten to where you keep your gun, you're dead. If someone walked into my house right now, I will have them standing 4m from me. There is no time to get up and run. Even if I have a gun and there are suddenly 3 guys standing in front of me, the slightest movement from me and I'm dead. An arsenal wouldn't save me.
2. If there are even just two of them, one holds you at gunpoint whilst the second one goes through the house. If they find your gun, they kill you with it.
3. If you get as far as your gun and you use it to kill somebody, the chances are pretty good that YOU are the one who is going to jail for murder.
The best is just to submit, don't look at them and do what they tell you. Any movement of self-defense and you're dead.
The thing is that they take you by surprise. They know what they are doing and are well-prepared. You, on the other hand, are busy watching TV or doing dishes. By the time you realise what is going on it is too late anyway.
If they fiddle around your house outside and you know that someone is there, you have time for a gun. If they suddenly appear at the foot of your bed, there isn't time for anything. Someone tried to rob me last year whilst I was in the car outside my husband's work, playing on my cellphone. They guy came from behind and reached in the window from behind me to grab my phone out of my hand. I managed to wrestle the phone out of his grasp and then he went for my handbag on my lap, which I managed to hang onto. The whole interaction took less than 20 seconds. There isn't even time to take a breath to scream. It happens so fast that you don't realise what is happening. I didn't see him coming nor did I see him running away, that is how fast it happened.
A month or two later, my car was stolen from exactly the same place - probably by the same person or people.

Wrong, look at what happened to the people in the news story that started this thread. These are not professional hit men, clumsy idiots.
Anyone who comes back again is dumb as a phucking rock. You need a loaded handgun in a holster hanging on the back side bedpost near
the wall, pillow high and hidden. And when you are home have that handgun on you.

You as the person protecting yourself from crime are more likely to go to jail for defending yourself than the person who is doing you harm. Sad but true.

The perps are Coloured, not Black.
At least they got quickly arrested, I hope they'll get life.
