That's how I feel about firearms for self defense. Plus, there's a limit to how useful they are. If someone is threatening you with a gun and you reach for yours, that's going to immediately prompt them to shoot.

Yeah, R. Lee Ermey was in the Marines and fought in Vietnam. He was a great guy. RIP.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
It varies. One can be 300 bucks and another can run you well into the thousands.
Hunting big game.
Fun.
The biggest handguns aren't for self defense or military use.
I once had a 44mag that was fun to shoot.
It was a Dan Wesson target pistol.
Ammo wasn't too spendy.
I sold it.

It's touching to see how much faith you put into home intruders.

For a good 9mm? A Glock might cost around $550 or $600, but a Ruger would be somewhat less; about $400. If you buy it used, then you could knock off maybe $100 from those prices.

What you said about time in prison only applies if you are charged with a crime. If a big guy you don't know with a gun breaks a window and enters your home and threatens your family, and you shoot him, what do you think that the police are going to see you as? A criminal that needs to go to jail? Doubtful. They'll see you as someone who just defended yourself and your family from being victimized by the thug laying on the floor.
Are they high caliber?
Extreemly loow, but they is awl we has. Strawng eyeglases and heerin ads too. If it weren'r fer Boss hanging onto my hand I'd be dead long time bak.
I am of the same persuasion as you.
I recognize the purpose of legislation that allows for ownership, but am completely terrified of US gun culture.
In Canada it's not so widespread but there are definitely people who see the gun as a symbol of freedom to the point of worship. Posing for photos with guns, making guns their whole identity.
There's a guy in my local community that told me he is a single-issue voter for 'the second amendment'. I didn't want to start a fight with him by pointing out that the second amendment does not exist in Canada. He also had a confederate flag frame for his license plates, classy guy.
First rule of self-defence will always be to run if possible.
In my view if you're too close to run, you're also probably too close to go fishing in your purse for your sidearm.
If so, you have the wrong kind of purse.

Was going to say I don’t own a weapon, then remembered I have two cavalry swords. They’d be the last thing I’d think of reaching for if anyone broke in the flat. Besides, I don’t own a horse, and a cavalry sword would probably be too unwieldy to use on foot.
Are you Americans always having to fight off armed home invaders btw? Must be exhausting…

It's not a matter of faith. It's a matter of gun control.
Even someone who's breaking into homes to steal stuff to sell for drug money knows better than to walk down the street carrying a long gun, and handguns are:
1. Hard to get legitimately, because they're restricted weapons,
2. Hard to get by stealing because: a) there aren't many of them and b) the secure storage requirements for restricted weapons are pretty strict.
3. Expensive to get on the black market (because of #1 and #2).
... so the people who have enough ready cash that they can buy an illicit gun that might be useful in a home invasion are generally not the people so hard up for cash that they'd resort to home invasions.
