I think the figures show something else. So does my sense of logic.

Like others have said, it depends on whether or not you're home. Most of the time you won't be, but my sense of logic says that if someone breaks in while I'm home, they've probably seen my car in the drive and know I'm there and don't care. That makes them dangerous. Likely to happen? No, but it does happen.

Edit: 1 last one, a nice scripture I try to live by.
Matthew 26:52 "Jesus said to him: 'Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.'"

I also remember this one: "FUCK YOU, MONEY CHANGERS! Think of my fist as the body of Christ and eat my knuckle eucharist!"

I kid, I kid. But seriously:

If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed
