What are you talking about?
It's lumped in with Robberies.
In Canada we don't get alot, so we have to combine stats.

Police reported more than 27,000 robberies in Canada, half of which were committed without a weapon of any kind. The rate of robberies committed with a firearm continued to decline, down 3% in 2004, accounting for one in seven robberies. The remaining 35% of robberies were committed with other weapons such as knives.

1 in 7 robberies in Canada, the person has a gun.
And since you want the
direct stat:
Quote:

The rate of break-ins fell 4% to just under 275,000 [In all of Canada] and was 36% lower than a decade ago. More than one-half (56%) of break-ins were committed in residences, about one-third (31%) in businesses and the remaining 13% occurred in other areas such as garden sheds and schools.
|
So let's just shoot the shit and say 125,000 break-ins in all of Canada in a given year in a residence, and if 1 and 7 of every break in has a gun, that means of those 125,000 residential break-ins, 17,857 of them were possibly armed with a gun and 107,143 of them had either no weapon at all, or a knife.
