31. Hold up. What about tasers?
They have up to 20 feet in range. Somebody mentioned here that most violent crimes have place within 7 feet. I think to protect one against home invasion, a taser is the way to go. You don't run the risk of killing a person, and you still get the full effect of a instant knocker-outer.

But alas, the range may not be so good. The answer? R&D. I'm surprised tasers have a range up to 20 feet. Unless you live in a mansion, I believe you don't need a high powered rifle to protect yourself.
