ure, that's probably exactly why there were no burglaries in the area,
doesn't solve the problem though does it? He didn't have a sign in the
window advertising this vast arsenal and the desire to kill any sod who
breaks into his house - deterrents only work if they are known to be in
place.

would you want to break into a house not knowing if the homeowner is armed ?
Kind of make breaking and entering a iffy proprosal. The numbers are not always
correct, if you look at the number of youths that were killed, a large number
were gang/drug related, and to keep the numbers high, 20+ year olds were listed
as being youths. There is no record for the number of crimes that were stopped
by the mere presence of a firearm. I know for myself, that was 3 times, with
shots being fired once in the protection of my nieghbor and his son from a pair
of attacking Pitt Bulls.

Armed men are citizens, unarmed men are subjects
