A firearm question for you Lefties

I'm not saying the shield gives you a better chance of surviving. I'm saying that unless you are paranoid and sit in your living room chair with a gun ready to pounce, that armed guy who just kicked in your door has the advantage, and you can run to get any weapon you want, rifle, shotgun, handgun, shield, hammer, jart, if he really wants to kill you it's too late. And having the gun doesn't make the chance of anyone getting injured "very small".
