The one statistic I noted was the sharp increase in forcible invasions of
occupied homes in Britain immediately after the gun ban... The criminal
types KNOW that no one in the house has a gun to deal with them - so smash
the bloke in the face with a club, and kick granny into the corner, whilst
you rifle the vanity... Pity, that..

Here in the hew hess of hey, the antigunners are ranting and raving but
haven't been able to totally ban ownership of guns... The statistics on gun
violence here are skewed by the inner cities, of course... As usual, every
gang banger out in the streets has an illegal gun of some sort, while the
law abiding citizen is left helpless...

In the rural area where I live we don't lock the doors at night... Of
course, any home invader will have to deal first with the dog, and secondly
with a load of buck shot to the chest... As a result, home invasion of an
occupied dwelling is a non event around here..

If you were a criminal and wished to perpetrate a crime - would you

choose
an area where you were very certain law-abiding citizens had no way to
protect themselves, or an area where you were likely to end up on the
receiving end of justified defense?
