Wow! I didn't expected a response to my post.

Here's some clarification:

1) I do not carry a gun, and I am not interested in intensive training and practice. However, I have access to guns, as DH likes them. I should have mentioned this in my first post.

2) All of the guns that I have access to are securely stored. Other people in my situation might choose to pretend that the firearms aren't there; however, I don't feel comfortable doing so.

3) If I am threatened, I will not just let myself be killed. (I might let myself be robbed, but not killed.) First I'd try to get away, and if that failed, I'd resist. As others have pointed out, there are many ways of resisting.

4) I will probably never have a usable gun in my hands when under attack. If it happened, it would probably be because DH had a gun and became incapacitated before firing all the ammo. So, although it is a very unlikely secenario, it is possible, and I thought it worth pondering what I should do.

Hope that clears things up.
