Exactly. Imagine if there was four armed civilians in the movies when that nut went off. Chances are we would have a lot more dead - they would be shooting at each other without knowing who started shooting in the first place.

I don't think so. Unless you carry your weapon with you 24/7 in your house AND you'll be instantly prepared to use it, your out of luck. If you four people bust down your door, even if your armed... The odds of you taking out all four in the first ten seconds is about one in one hundred. You aren't James Bond.
