Tell the robber to wait one minute while they go unlock the gun and load it? I've never been a burglar, but I would imagine the element of surprise is an advantage over the victim and waiting for the victim to go get a gun and load it might be counter productive.

I keep some loaded, hidden from sight, but accessible.
I also consider myself to be a responsible gun owner, only I define the terms of what being responsible actually are.
