Nobody with their own survival in mind would wait to retrieve their friearm until after they were already in the sights of their home invader. The idea is that if you get woken up to breaking glass at three in the morning, you can have a ready weapon NOW in order to respond to the noise, instead of cowering under the bed hoping you don't get murdered by the criminal who has broken into a home with sleeping occupants. Is it a kid from down the street or is it jeffrey dahmer? Why would you wait to make visual contact with your invader to go retrieve your gun, instead of arming yourself right off the bat so you aren't fucked while on the phone with 911.
