It doesn't make any sense to me to approach it with one mindset and never be willing to challenge it.
Are you not doing the same thing? Why are we dumb because our opinion differs? I believe (no i don't have stats but neither do you) that IF someone is breaking into my house it is more likely that it is not an accident.
Just because you've heard of somethings more than others IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE/FRIENDS etc.doesn't make it representative of reality. You really think that its more likely when homes are invaded that it's an accident?
There needs to be a perfect storm of sorts for type of thing you're worried about to happen.
1. Dumb college kid. Fairly easy to find.
2. Dumb college kid drinks.
3. Dumb college kid drinks himself retarded.
4. Dumb drunk college kid can't find his own damn house or a friend's.
5. Dumb drunk college kid can't open what he thinks is his own door.
6. Dumb drunk college kid decides best course of action is to break in.
7. Homeowner is home.
8. Homeowner wakes up.
9. Homeowner has a gun.
10. Homeowner decides to retrieve gun.
11. Homeowner can't tell who the intruder is.
12. Homeowner perceives intruder as a threat.
13. Homeowner decides best course of action is deadly force.
14. Homeowner pulls trigger.
15. Homeowner hits intruder.
16. Homeowner fatally wounds intruder.
Probably several other steps if i really wanted to waste even more time. That chain can be broken in so many ways. That's why it doesn't happen very often. What happens a LOT more is someone breaking in on purpose with bad intentions. Again, I guess I have no stats for this, just gut feeling.
