Came home to a house filled with gas before.

Hmm. While I have no experience working with gas stoves, everything else that I have worked on with a gas valve has either a thermocouple or flame sensor to prevent this sort of thing. I find it odd that a gas stove wouldn't.

This happened to me on a older gas stove. The newer stoves could be equipped with thermocouple or a sensor not sure about older models. It was pretty bad, I smelled the gas outside about 10 ft away from the front door.

Right when I walked in I instantly got light headed. It was probably leaking by for about 6-7 hours.
