They did it the hard way having to take the weapon from the intruder. I'll bet they go out and buy a shotgun or some type of weapon after this experience.

Who would blame them? Then again the anti-gun folks will still try to enact laws banning all guns so all Americans will need to wrestle guns from criminals who will then be the only ones with such weapons.
