Northern Virginia has a problem with Asian home invasion gangs which often strike during the day time and torment those at home

Maybe in your northern VA, my northern VA has shall issue concealed carry and pretty reasonable gun laws, aside from some stupidity in Fairfax Cty regarding waiting periods.

Most Virginians have a lot more guns at home than the average NY/Baltimore/Philly/Chicago urban dweller. Methinks "Home Invasion" would be a dangerous sport in these parts. Better to go to DC or PG County MD where the homeowners can't shoot back.

I don't know anything about home invasions. I don't know if they are happening at all or not. But if home invasions are occurring, I would expect them to occur in the immigrant community. Immigrants have the reputation of preferring to deal in cash -- and, if prosperous, fairly liquid tangible assets. Immigrants may also be less inclined to obtain concealed carry permits -- if they are even eligible. On the other hand, if I were in the home invasion business, I would still take some care to pick targets that were less likely to maintain home defense firearms, or have the knowledge to use them.
