The statistics on "homeowner stops break-in" aren't as cut and dry as we might think. As I understand it, the studies that gun control activists cite tend to only count "gun used for self defense" if it was actually fired. However, the much more common scenario is that the defender draws a gun and the criminal flees. To me that definitely counts as "homeowner stops break-in".
