Someone breaking into a car. You shoot them? A car-jacking:

a guy walks up to your window (happened to me) and sticks a gun in your throat. Yeah, you're gonna draw yours, right after your head is blown off.

Your examples show how crazy the idea of gun security is. If your wife or you had been armed in your examples, one or both of you may have been killed---- or you may have killed a human being.

Guns can make you feel safer, but they don't: they make you less safe because you begin to think you're Dirty Harry when in fact you're just a schmuck with a gun who's going to be shaking in a crisis and not able to hit shit, except a bystander perhaps, when he starts panic pulling.
