No, for everyone. When you introduce a firearm into a situation, you cause the other party (in this case, the burglar) to become more desperate--he may decide to use any weapon he has where he otherwise may have not.
This isnt to say not to arm yourself if the need arises--I am merely warning you not to do it trivially.
