[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Utter balderdash. Th real reason your chances of being shot with your own firearm supposedly "go up compared to that of shooting a criminal" is that the likelihood of a criminal entering your home (especially if the fact you own weapons is obvious and/well-known) drops between 80 and 95% when you're armed. So before weapon: Likelihood of getting shot: *** vs. Likelihood of criminal entry :*************** but after: Likelihood of getting shot: ** vs. Likelihood of criminal entry :** Your REAL odds stay roughly the same,(actually, they would dip in your favor, since the likelihood of a crook shooting you ALSO goes down when the playing field is even), but because of the false return given by the lesser likelihood of entry, it APPEARS as though they go up.
