"Run and Gun" Fantasy or Practical?

Thanks Ramcharger. A flashlight is an add on that makes sense and I could see that making a difference in a home invasion type scenario.

For me personally, I would never consider clearing my house. We are all upstairs at night so if someone managed to get into the house and passed the barking dog they can take whatever they want down there. I'll have my sights on the top of the stairs until the cops arrived.
