Unfortunately someone who is reckless enough to do home invasions is as likely to be a rapist. I work with level 4 inmates and the rapists among them have victimized as many as 5-12+ unarmed women before they were stopped - And those numbers are only the ones that they admit to. More often than not they were stopped by someone fighting back - often with a pistol.
Trust me - bad people don't fear cops as much as they fear an armed victim (that or a house with a big dog in it).
