Something as simple as a knife or a spear can get the job done if necessary. I think even felons can own a black powder revolver, but I am not sure if there are specific restrictions on that. Another discussion is hardening the home to make break-ins more difficult. Running to the neighbor's house is way down on the list of options IMO, but I guess every situation is different. Just about all options require prior preparation and thought.
A trained large dog is a great option for home defense.
