are faraway, at least forty years ago. Got news for you. Society is a little different today. So are criminals. You need to meet the new breed of burglar. They carry guns. The issue you miss is not whether the burglar is or is not carrying a firearm, the issue is whether the homeowner can take a chance that the burglar is not carrying a fire arm, and would react violently to being discovered.
You apparently prefer to take the chance. I'd not take the chance. The burglar would be stopped before he made it to my children. There is no threat of 'lead flying' because my children would be safely ensconsed in a safe place. But that burglar would not have the opportunity to move about my house on the off chance he meets my kids.
You are obviously willing to take that chance. To each his own.
