If the owner in question could non-fatally fend off the intruders with a baseball bat, is a firearm really necessary for the defense of your home? Granted, if the intruders are
themselves armed with guns it may make defense a little trickier. But now we are merely delving into hypothetical 'what if' situations, the proliferation of which, in my eyes, is a primary motivator behind American gun culture.
