The question is whose firearm? More likely by your own by negligence/ misadventure or by the invader's weapon? Decide and either arm yourself or not depending on your own risks and your own assessment of those risks.
As I recall, a large portion of the gun deaths in the home happen to wives or partners of men who own guns. Angry fights turn into shootings.
And as I recall, those are much more common than armed home invasions. Those are actually quite rare.
As John has related in some detail, if someone does burst into your home and threatens violence, having a gun in the home is very unlikely to help.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Home Invader. Can you wait just a minute? As a responsible gun owner, I follow the advice to keep my gun locked up and unloaded. Naturally, I never keep it in my holster or pocket when I'm at home. So please just let me unlock the safe, slap in the magazine and return to defend myself. Please don't harm my wife as I do that!"
