The intruder is a cop - or group of cops misdirected to your address. you kill one or two.

If you live after being shot in your bed , you will be put on trial for killing a cop, convicted and sent to prison for life if you are lucky, given the needle if not.

 

 

I dont see how they could convict you if they made the mistake on which house they were raiding.

 

 On the subject of having a gun for personal protection - what do you think has a better chance of happening - a raid on your house by mistake or a criminal breaking into your home? Id say, in the bigger scheme of things, the chances of a criminal breaking in are much higher.  

 

Not owning a gun for fear of an accidental police raid is about like not owning a gun for fear that it might not fire when you shoot it (there is probably a better chance of that happening......)
