No, in your case you're meat. In my case, the crooks have no reason to try
to kill me.

The crooks are there to _steal_ your stuff, not to kill you. If you put up a
fight, you're dead. If you aren't a threat to them, you'll probably have a
bit of a rough time, but you'll endure.

If they are there to kill you, either way you're probably toast. Your best
choice is to run and hide, not try and shoot it out with them.

Having a gun in the house is NOT a good way to protect your life, or the
lives of your family members. It's a decent way to endanger them.
