or perhaps they are just secretly waiting for something to happen so they have the chance to kill someone without the legal consequences?
personally, if you're worried about safety and somebody breaks into your house you'll try to a) leave b) hide c) call the police
the idea of walking around the house or standing there with a gun is way riskier but i guess thats what you to do if you're thinking this is my chance to shoot someone.
