Oh, I agree, but the study was of California gun owners. CA releases all gun owner data to whomever for research.
It’s true! If you break into a house where the owner has a handgun there will be more dead perps.
A Masker,
‘nuff said.
I don't think they're talking about intruders, but the person who lives in the same house with a gunowner, ie, victim is wife, children, partner, roommate, mother-in-law.
That is the inference of the article and apparently the researcher but apparently their data does not support that inference. This from the article in typical AP fashion is nearly in comprehensible. The study has several shortcomings. For example, the researchers said they could not determine which victims were killed by the handgun owners or with the in-home weapons. They couldn’t account for illegal guns and looked only at handguns, not rifles or other firearms.
My reading of it is that they don’t know who killed who or with what weapons. Only that someone in a home where someone owned a handgun got killed with a gun.
Also no mention that more people are killed with knives and blunt objects than handguns by a large margins.
By their logic we should all remove knives and blunt objects from our homes.
The CA govt collects and willingly disseminates lawful firearms owner data. Of course, only law abiding persons are represented in the data as households with unregistered handguns aren’t nor can be known.
Whatever the study says you can rest assured that it started with the conclusion and the lies and distortions that made up the “study” were shaped by the desired conclusion.

Now we finally know why Hunter’s girlfriend, aka the widow of his brother, ditched his .38 in a trash can of a convenience store parking lot across from the a high school.
She just didn’t feel safe. Good thing they had the USSS to come in and clean up that little pile of Hunter dung before it went public.
