Not only does private gun ownership provide an incentive not to break into a house, but it also provides a largely unseen national defense system. That is the part of private gun ownership that many people do not realize. In the case of an invasion on U.S. soil, not only would there be the military, but civilians in their homes would be able to aid in the defense of the country.

If gun owners are properly trained, they can be a huge asset to the nation.
