Considering that about 266,000[1] people are injured by burglars per year, deaths included, I'm not seeing how the resident being able to shoot back is making anything "less safe" for anyone except for the burglar, which I'm pretty sure anyone getting burgled is usually ok with.
Though as to why burglaries went down, I wonder if people got more alarm systems or took other deterrent countermeasures after the database was published?

- eftychis 4y agoThere is the point of correct close combat training. Shooting in an enclosed proximity is vastly different. For instance you don't want the gun to blind, deafen or grabbed and used against you. That can be alleviated with the right training and choices. You need more information beyond that to assess -- e.g. are people living in remote areas or next to a police officer?
