Home invasions are so rare the FBI doesn't even bother to track them. Most homicides are drug-related or crimes of passion, and most rapes are date-rape.

They get charged with rape, assault, etc. If someone breaks into your house and rapes you they're going to be charged with rape and that's all anyone is going to care about.

Where I used to live I knew a few cops and ex-cops. The topic had come up a few times, because I live in rednecksville where people own guns and drive trucks. It wasn't all that uncommon. Domestic violence that involves a drunk ex or current boyfriend breaking in, robbery, rape, etc.

Guess it also depends where you live. In rural areas it's much easier to sneak around at night. We don't have large apartment complexes and lots of people out at night. I could head out at 2 A.M. and be the only person around. Maybe head to walmart and see 2-3 other cars the whole drive.

So maybe your logic holds true where you live, but where I live I'd prefer to have a gun because in the event it does happen I'm completely alone and royally screwed without one. Plus target practice is fun.
