I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Muskets are not considered firearms by ATF rules IIRC.
There are also gray area with certain antique handguns like blunderbusses and flintlocks. Which at close range make a glock 9mm look like a party toy.
Smokes your house up something nasty and leaves a huge splatter on the wall.
If you shoot a guy with a flintlock pistol nobody fucks with you from there on.
