As "entertaining" as such ideas are regarding "paintball" guns and such, you will have to forgive me for not taking a light tone.

In the case of someone invading your home and it being necessary to use a firearm to protect yourself or your family, trying to do so with a non-lethal response is simply increasing the danger that you face.

Simply put - if you feel you have to use a firearm - it should ONLY be in a situation that requires lethal force. You are not a police officer, your job is not to apprehend some criminal. If you reach for a gun, its because a life or lives are in danger, and its your job to protect that life or lives.

Firearms are not playthings. They are nothing to joke about. Nor is a situation when deadly force is required. I pray no one has to face those situations, and that for those that do, they have the maturity to handle it appropriately.
