On what? If a person breaks into a home here in Texas, they’ve usually signed their own death certificate. Where do you live?

I would not trust most statistics in this area. Everyone has an agenda, and most statistics you see are just liars doing what liars do.

And, in any case, the statistic you are most likely to see is "Dead Burglar vs. Dead Homeowner". That is not a good metric to use, since they are both negative outcomes (the latter much worse than the former, obviously). A better statistic would be "Burglar Fleeing or Stopped vs. Dead Homeowner", but that is one you do not often see. An even better metric would be "Burglar deterred vs. Dead Homeowner", but that is unknowable.
