I doubt the story is true.

If I were a burglar, I would look for houses which did not have a gun.

Not if you wanted to steal a gun.

That’s because you’d be a “let’s grab some stuff and not get shot” kind of burglar.

There are other burglars who think, “Hmmm... Guns. Good. Let’s just wait until the owner is away, and then it’s payday.”

Not when AR's are selling for $3000 and handguns are rising. Try to get $3k for a big screen TV or laptop. Jackpot!

The map isn’t necessarily responsive to which houses don’t have a gun; only which houses don’t have a REGISTERED gun.

It is however, almost certainly responsive to which residences do in fact have a gun.

That being the case, the chances of it being used for nefarious purposes would almost singularly be to acquire a stolen gun. The method would be to case the place to find out when the owners aren’t home, and try to rob the house/steal the firearm while they are away.

The criminals who would use this map would be looking for guns to steal but not looking to run into their owners holding them.

Unless, of course, you wanted to steal a gun!

Sure, unless you wanted to steal a gun.
