I'm not much good on statistics, but I do watch the news.
If some creep breaks into a house and the homeowner has the wherewithal to pull his gun and chase the guy off the hero is going to get top-billing on the 6 o'clock news.
It'd be a good story and a lot of people will want to hear it. The media won't ignore that kind of thing.
