Yes, if you threaten them. Owls are wild animals. Like you, if someone comes into their home, they feel threatened. If someone broke into your home and made you feel afraid, you would likely hurt that person.

Here's the thing, the first instinct of most wildlife is to run when pressed. If they are able to flee, they will. If you prevent them from fleeing, or act aggressively with them too quickly for them to run, they are likely to attack. Your best course of action is to be a good guest, don't be aggressive, and just leave them alone. Barn owls perform an important service; they keep the rodent population down. Let him do his job.
