    Last I checked Canada is safer than the U.S.

    Quick numbers I could find

    “Between 2003 and 2007, approximately 2.1 million household burglaries were reported to the FBI each year on average. Household burglaries ending in homicide made up 0.004% of all burglaries during that period.”

    So now add in all those home invasions that didn’t get reported for a number of reasons and I would say they are very low risk. Pulling a gun will increase the danger.

      Sources need links or at least the actual name of the source, not just quotation marks.

      Not sure why you’re talking about the FBI after your previous statement, but home invasions by definition are when an occupant is at home. Most robberies are committed when the house is empty specifically to avoid the possibility of conflict.

      Robberies are a property crime.

      Invasions are a threat.
