That's true depending on the situation. With many home invasions, the person rings the bell and then storms in when you open the door. Unless you take your gun with you everytime you open your door, it wouldn't help you.

OP also mentioned getting a concealed weapon permit. If you are going to carry all the time, if somebody jumps you on the street, you probably will not have time to draw your gun either.

You wouldn't enter a home without permission for fear of being shot, but you are a sane, , sober, rational individual. The people that commit crimes like this are none of those things. Often, they are whacked out on drugs. They don't give any thought to possible consequences of their actions.
