And if they are really worried about the homeowners being armed they
will make sure they too are armed and may fire pre-emptively.

NRA types like to point to a "study" of convicts who responded in

home owner was armed. Only two problems there.... they interviewed the
guys that were dumb enough to get caught, and convicts tend not to be
credible.
