I live in Upstate NY in a rural area and have much the same situation. Break-ins seldom occur when someone is home. Pros don't work that way, amateurs do. Also, those who keep guns for that reason often keep them under pillows,mattresses, in closets. Easily accessible. First place pros go. Easily fenced. Those are then the legal weapons that get sold illegally. How many more of our children have to be killed to satisfy the false myth?
