The stat I gave was for the home owner being injured during the burglary. This is not even talking about all the burglaries when no one is home or when they run off when they realize someone is home (and could have a gun). But definitely, if someone doesn't live near a big city like SF or San Jose or Berkeley, they probably don't need a gun as much as people in those towns. But it's still probably a good idea just in case. Without one, you just have to hope it never happens to you.
