Nothing to laugh about

You're absolutely right about people killed by vehicles.
I do keep a baseball bat in the bedroom closet just for such occasions but thankfully it has a pile of dust on it. Beat the crap out of someone then hand it to my wife as she can't be charged because she is defending herself. Strange laws I know but a cop told me that. Enter my house illegally and you do suffer the consequences.

If the burglar is armed with a gun, then I'm pretty sure that Mr. Wilson bat you're winding up with would likely never make contact with said burglar and you'd be wishing you brought ol' Smith & Wesson to the fight with you... Just saying...
