Home Invasion and Protection is the Number One fear of firearm owners across America.
According to the Department of Justice, reviewing data from 2003 – 2007, there were an average of 3.7 million burglaries every year!

Facts associated with these crimes:
A household member was present in roughly 1 million burglaries and became victims of violent crimes in 266,560 burglaries.
Simple assault (15%) was the most common form of violence when a resident was home and violence occurred. Robbery (7%) and rape (3%) were less likely to occur when a household member was present and violence occurred.
Only 12% of all households that were violently burglarized while someone was home faced an offender armed with a firearm.
Some home burglary statistics are frightening, such as:
Households composed of single females with children had the highest rates of burglary while someone was present.
Victims in 38% of households burglarized while someone was home were asleep at the time of the burglary, while 44% of households stated that household members were engaged in other activities in the home when the offender gained entry to the residence.
In 7% of all household burglaries, a household member experienced some form of violent victimization. This translates to about 266,560 violent victimizations during household burglaries, out of about 3.7 million home invasions taking place each year on average.
