So....you guys are assuming people are only breaking into homes to steal possessions?

Ok then....

Ok then....

I'm a 30 y.o athletic male; there are easier/more desirable targets of sexual assault available for my neighborhood sociopaths.

Also, your risk assessment may need some calibration. There's a much, much higher probability of accidental friendly fire with a gun in a house than your home being targeted for armed robbery.

Exactly...I don't know, you don't know. Only they know why they broke in.

Say they are there to kidnap your daughter (like that Elizabeth smart girl, or whatever her name was). And they have a gun to shoot anyone who tries to stop them. You going to try and reason with them?talk them out of it? Good luck with that.

And calling the cops will be too late....and if they get close, he'd prob just kill the girl like the sicko in MO did.

But enjoy living in your fantasy world, where nothing bad happens. And if it did, they'd prob only want your xbox anyway...

Yeah, where do you find what your odds of death are from different scenarios? Car wreck, friendly fire gun accident, armed robbery, murder, etc?

Unless someone cuts off my thumb to break into the safe, don't know how that'd happen.

And I'm glad you're not the intended sexual target. Some of us are married and have daughters...so if that's not you, then your opinion really doesn't matter.

Shoot first, and ask questions later, better safe than sorry.

i hate children. so they won't be stealing any kids of mine. but remember, i could talk him down with the works of jesus like that one lady did (she also had meth).

you also live in a fantasy world where you think you live in the wild west. so don't give me that crap. in your scenario you said "he'd probably just kill the girl..."...thats as much of a leap as you think my "no bad things happen" world is (which was your words, i did not say that no bad thigns happen or ever imply that).

The CDC tracks mortality rates and I use the Economist for crime statistics.

Correct. You enter my house and that's what will happen.
