Actually, it sounds like she didn't need one.

Too bad that isn't always the case.

In an apparent home invasion gone wrong, suspected burglar Deandre Williams was fatally shot by his intended victim. Juan Carlos Garcia, his wife and their two small children had been sleeping when Garcia was awakened by an intruder. Arming himself with a pistol, Garcia went into the living room to investigate. There he encountered an armed man standing by the front door. When the intruder fired at Garcia, striking him in the arm, Garcia returned fire. Williams then ran outside. Garcia followed, and Williams, who was waiting for him, fired at Garcia, hitting him several times. Garcia dropped to the ground and fired one more shot, fatally wounding Williams.

The Davis family was sleeping when a man broke into their mobile home. Brenda Davis was in the living room on a sofa with their 2-year-old daughter and 2-month-old son. Her husband, Charles, was in a bedroom when the man entered their home by breaking a window in the living room. Hearing the noise, Charles Davis grabbed his gun and headed for the living room, then retreated to the kitchen with his wife. As they were closing the door between the living room and kitchen, the intruder came at them and Charles Davis shot him. The home invader, later identified as Richard Mack, died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities said it was unclear why Mack chose to break into the Davis home.

Ronald Dixon and his wife, Tricia, were awakened by a noise late in the night. Dixon could see the reflection of a man entering his 18-month-old son's bedroom in a mirror. Dixon called out to the intruder, "What are you doing?" as his wife called 9-1-1. Not receiving a response, Dixon pulled a 9 mm handgun out of his closet and confronted the stranger in the child's room. When the interloper advanced on him, Dixon fired his gun, hitting the man twice. The intruder, later identified by police as Ivan Thompson, then fell down the stairs and ran out of the house, but collapsed outside. According to police, Thompson has a record of 19 arrests, most for burglary. He was critically wounded in the chest and groin.

David Franklin's crime spree through a Milwaukee, Wisc., neighborhood was cut short when one of his intended victims produced a gun and shot him. Milwaukee police said Franklin was suspected in six break-ins within blocks of his home. He apparently chose to break into homes where women lived; and if he caught a woman alone, he raped her. If the woman was not home, he would burglarize the house. Women in three of those cases were raped at gunpoint. The tables were turned on Franklin when he broke into a house and the woman resident shot him in the arm. He was arrested at a local hospital after police interrogated him as to how he had been shot.
