A gun in a home is 12 times more likley to cause the death of a household member or welcome visitor than a intruder.-Southern Medical Journal. I believe that in a home invasion situation the invaders would know who you are, what weapons you have and would likley be prepared for them. Home invasions are not random occurances, they are orginized by groups of criminals to serve a purpose. Therefore if you are a canidate for a home invasion you probably already know it. People in the witness protection program, drug dealers and gang members should worry about home invasions. Ordinary citizens should worry more about looking bothways before turning out in traffic.
