I think you have a good point but Im sure theres thousands of lawyers out there that could win something like this.

(Guy breaks in house, gets hurt in house and sues home owner and wins)

Dont get me wrong Im not lawsuit happy but its a tactic the anti's Im sure would have no problem using so why not us?
What would the cause of action be? It's not an intentional tort. It's not negligence. There simply is no legal theory under which the victim could proceed against the property owner.

Furthermore, it is pure speculation that if the victim had been able to have a gun, the injury/death would not have occurred. You'd never be able to show that some action of the property owner was the proximate cause of the injury/death.

That is why no such lawsuits are ever brought.
