Secondly, I think you would still hear about the success story of grandpa who kept his magnum under his pillow and successfully scared away 2 intruders when they broke in. If it was a common practice of protection, you would most definitely hear about it somewhere. I know I'd love to hear the news report about grandpa turning into rambo and defending is territory.

It is common.
Over 2 million incidents each year. The media just doesn't report on it, and you obviously haven't researched it either.
