I must politely disagree.
There are many cases in the US where a firearm is used for self defense. There are even some cases where a firearm is used for defense and the weapon is never fired (the threat of potential use of the weapon was sufficient to stop the crime).
In the city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, just last evening, three armed robbers forced their way into a private home. The home owner responded correctly by killing one of the three attackers. Sadly, the would be thieves are the ones who created this situation. The other two remain at large.

Should check out the American Rifleman and in one of the first sections is a listing of some cases where firearms were used to saved law abiding citizens. Can't remember the name of that particular section but it is there. There are stories of 90 year old grandmas who managed to not get robbed and/or beaten because they were armed.

Positive story- My dad wakes up and hears people coming in the house, grabs the shotgun puts 3 shells in and simply pumps the shotgun to put one in the chamber. The dude jumps THROUGH the storm door to get out.
