        In Canada I don’t think you can threaten it either way since you can’t legally protect you property with force unless force is used on you.

          That sounds like a good way to get shot first in a country that has its own fair share of guns, not even getting into the fact that violence always favors the aggressor.

            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.

                It’s the same in most civilized countries. You can sit on the guy to hold him down, you can punch if punched, stab if you see a knife, shoot if you see a gun. You can’t however use disparit force if they slap you can’t behead.
