...... Guess folks would rather die after watching their daughters , wives or loved one tortured, raped and killed. Such as that Doctor last week who lost his wife and daughters to just such a home invasion.
Firearms are simple tools, misuse a tool, any tool, and you get hurt. Educate, train, try before you buy aka practice practice practice and then and only then buy whats best for you and your spouse.
The link to the revolver modification below is one I used when I purchased my girlfriends Mom her first firearm for self defense. The “ring” one wears make the revolver 100% safe to all but the person who is wearing said ring. I have known LEO’s who have this to survive a weapon being taken from them in a fight etc ....... The revolver is useless without the ring.

Link above if for those who can’t “fear” that they can’t keep their kids totally safe from such tools used for self defense.
I'll bet the Doctor had an alarm too.
