"If you bring a gun into the home, it increases the risk of homicide by three,"

With a dozen, or so, guns, I'm surprised that anyone is still alive in my neighborhood.

LOL. I can address all sorts of situations with my collection. Now I just buy ammo by the case when it's on sale, and Hoppe's No. 9 by the quart.

What are the stats on this:

"If you illegally enter a home where the owner has a gun..."

I'd like to know.

That's probably right. You just increased the chance of an intruder being shot by 6 times and reduced your own risk of being shot by the intruder by half, so yeah, I could see that! :) (I don't remember my statistics too well, but isn't the P(A and B) = to P(A) * P(B)?)

Actually, if you eat at a Dennys Restaurant in Calfornia your odds of being shot are three times that of someone eating at Bobs Bigboy.
