I agree. Me being afraid of mentally unstable people of shooting me is most definitely a me problem.
It kinda does. I mean, letting someone shoot you when you had a gun is not good. The other option is you're the person breaking into a house and get shot...

That sounds great unless you're a 5'2 110 lb. woman and he's a 200 lb+ male. Guns are an equalizer.
In a fight between a 110 lb woman and a 200 lb man whose hands are occupied by a TV, my money is still on the woman.
And even if that wasn't the case, see previous point: a TV is not more valuable than a human life.
You do know he could just set the TV down for a few seconds, right? Or just kick her
I have an experiment for you - go pick up your TV, then try kicking something. Unless you have a pretty small TV, you're going to have a difficult time getting much power into it.
Kicking is also a really shitty defence unless you are actually trained. It puts you off-balance (when you're already top-heavy due to holding a heavy TV) and most people can't kick above their own hips while still generating any respectable power (martial artists excepted). They're also generally pretty slow attacks compared to a punch.
As for putting the TV down, the robber is going to have a choice between dropping and likely breaking the TV, thus rendering it worthless for stealing, or taking several seconds to gently put it down somewhere, which is ample time for the woman to grab whatever melee tool is at hand (an umbrella, a lamp, a chair) and brain the guy with it.
There is almost no scenario where a 110 pound woman stops a full grown 200 pound man. He'll stop her, you're delusional to think differently.
Most likely, if he saw someone, he could always drop the tv. Because if he takes out the occupants of the house, he could always find another tv or more expensive stuff like jewelry/other electronics he could also sell. And maybe make more money off of... ---
