I bet most people that own guns for self-defense don't practice nearly enough (or at all!) to be effective at much more than scaring someone. Maybe that's enough, but you'll do a lot of property damage shooting through your own walls trying to save your stuff. If you haven't practiced, GO PRACTICE and get instruction (skill and law)! It's not uncommon for criminals to be looking for drug money, which means they can possibly be drugged, take more hits than normal and your misses won't stop anything; they may even end up with your gun!
