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.

Those are actually quite rare.

As John has related in some detail, if someone does burst into your home

No, that isn't true. I had a gun which was stored in the bedroom. I
was sitting, eating, at the table, in a different room when the three
guys kicked the door in and rushed into the house. Had I been in the
bed room when it happened it would have been a different story.

The question of whether a gun in the house is useful is a far more
complex problem then one single incident can explain. See
