About once a week or so, there is a news story about some citizen who used a firearm to defend themselves against a criminal. The NRA magazine has a special column devoted to these happy little tales of brave Americans.
They don't ever publish stories like this one: Father, son slain on Memorial Day were stabbed multiple times
It would seem the homeowner and his son would have been perfect candidates for the NRA's list of hero gun owners, but unfortunately both of them are dead. This is despite the house being filled with a collection of "of swords, knives, other sharp objects, rifles, shotguns and pistols, including Marine-style Ka-Bar knives."
It might have helped if he had locked his door.

Sheriff’s deputies have said William S. Powers Jr., 32, who lived at 170 Felicia St., which is across the street from the Massolettis, entered their unlocked home about 4 a.m. May 26 and attacked the elder Massoletti in his bed where he was sleeping with his girlfriend. The son, who was awakened by his father’s girlfriend, grabbed some kind of weapon and tried to stop Powers.
It might have helped if he had locked his door.
