Really? You think that? No, I don't think that at all. Burglary is a non-violent crime. Burglary is much more prevalent than robbery. The number of folks sneaking around stealing things is much higher than the number of folks packin' heat and robbing a store at gunpoint. Burglary is a coward's crime. There's a reason that they target empty houses. I don't believe that at all. If more burglars had guns pointed at them (more would get shot) and there would be fewer burglars. The reason that burglary is common is that it's not resisted.or totally accustomed to having guns pointed at them all the time.
I suspect that 90-95% of burglaries would be stopped if someone showed up surprising the crooks in the process and racked a shotgun. That statistic would probably be higher than expected for a robber too. The statistic would probably be much lower (but still higher than you might expect) for a home invasion.
