How would conceiled weapons give you a better chance of respoding?

In a heartbeat. I've lost firghts, been stabbed and even been shot before. I also had the common sense to take martial arts.

It also increases the odds that the crimial will use deadly force against you - you now being more of a threat - , and that you could be charged with manslaughter.

Gladly. It's insane for that man in that specific case to believe that he was above the law. You cannot disregard laws that you don't agree with. If we lived in a society with a judicial system that tolerated that, we'd be in aharchy. You can protect your family within the guidelines of the law. You cannot defend your family outside of the guidelines of the law. He WAS guilty of a crime, and was charged and sentenced as such. He could have legally used a bat, or knife, or crossbow, or pepperspray, or tazer, or whatever. He had a gun, and that was illegal.

Tell me, how do you protect yourself from a home invasion without a gun?

It is not illogical to assume that higher production means greater availability. Higher production means more availability for any good or service, including weaponry. Would you like to know how to protect yourself from home invasion? Simple. Bar your windows and get security doors. No gun needed.
