re: #42 Obdicut

Thing is we all live in our own particular circumstances. Those circumstances are highly complex. Location, lifestyle, training or lack thereof, police response rates. And that’s before we get to level of risk, as in ordinary middle/low class housewife with kids compared to people who keep enough wealth at home to draw criminal attention. Or the relative few that face an escalated risk because of career.

How to stay safe at home, up against threats all kinds is all to be taken up carefully. Especially the home defense part with a gun or weapon of any kind. So on one hand we have these broad, almost flat statistics drawn from the largest possible area. And then we have the complexities that are part and parcel of the decision tree. It’s a low resolution view being applied to a high information resolution need.
