Home Safety Poll for Gunless Homes

According to current statistics used by insurance companies and The United States Government for purposes of comparison in the United States, every year, one in thirty-six homes is burglarized.

Even though the penal code categorizes burglaries as non-violent crimes, a burglary can change to the violent crime category immediately upon the commission of a murder or an assault when the burglar is either surprised by the home owner arriving home in mid burglary, or the burglar finds someone already home and the point of meeting ends in a combative scenario.

So, common sense, critical thinking and just simple math reveals the truth that in 2013, we all have a 1 in 36 chance of meeting a burglar and possibly having to defend ourselves while waiting for police to arrive.We could all be surprised either just sleeping in our beds, or arriving home from a late night run to the grocery store.

Go through this checklist/flow chart to see if you are safe enough without a gun.
