Let's do the math........assuming there's an estimated 300 million people in the US means that over 0.5% of the population or over 6/300 people have to deal with incidents where they have to use a gun each year when threatened at their home.

Obviously higher in some areas of the country such as some major cities and lower in other areas, but an interesting stat.
