Own a musket for home defence, since that's what the founding fathers intended. 4 ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball-sized hole through the 1st man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the 2nd man, miss him entirely because it's smooth-bore and nails the neighbour's dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot, "Tally oh lads" the grapeshot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
