In this country what happens at a higher rate of occurance, home invasions or accidental firearm deaths involving a minor?

home invasions

depends on the neighborhood doesn't it.

Well according to Sutton's law I guess I need earth quake insurance also. In fact the subject is very relevant to insurance. Is it mathematically possible for me to get toe nail cancer? Yeah. Should I spend the money on insurance for the 1 in 10,000,000,000 chance that I get it? No. If statistics show me that a home invasion is unheard of in my community consider this, a one time payment of $350 (about the cost of a decent handgun) at the front end of a 30 year mortgage at a 3% rate will save you almost $529.00 in interest on the life of the loan. That sounds like a smarter investment to me because if I can't feel safe in a community I'm not going to live there.

How many homes have a hand gun but no fire extinguisher? Ask Sutton about those averages.

I think you may have misunderstood Suttons law.

In short Willie Sutton robbed a banks and when asked why he replied "that is where the money is at"

If you live in an affluent area guess what, that is in fact where the money is.

So you don't have health insurance or you have a version that does not cover cancer?

So over the course of 30 years the safety of your family is worth less than $179? That is only 6 dollars a year rounded up.
