Hoping to keep this out of PARF. Appreciate an honest discussion.

We do not, nor have ever (in the last 20+ years) owned a gun of any type. We have 3 dogs, and live in a relatively safe area. I have always traveled and 2 of our 3 kids are in college. I've been told that the odds of actually needing/using a gun successfully for home defense are far lower than the odds of having a terrible accident with one. I know there are many enthusiasts here so here's my "real world" question:

Have any gun owning/carrying Pelicans actually needed or used your gun for home defense? I understand that it may provide a sense of security, but that's not the question. Have any Pelicans been threatened by a break-in while at home and used your gun to diffuse the situation? Interested in your own experience, not news or blog stories. Thanks.
