For a number of years I owned a licensed shotgun which resided in the attic space about 10 feet from my bed. Many's the time I wondered if I found a burglar in my house in the middle of the night would I use it on him. I came to the conclusion that I definitely would albeit from a distance and aimed low. I think that if you break into someones house in the middle of the night to steal their hard-earned possessions then you deserve what you get regardless.
Thankfully I was never put to the test and, due to my move abroad, I disposed of the gun to a gun dealer.
