Non targeted armed house robberies in Canada with family home? Don't have the stats handy but I'd be willing to bet you're into lotto type odds.
And the chances of armed break-in criminals actually using said firearms against innocent families in those small percentage of cases is even more minuscule...unless of course a home owner starts screaming and pointing their own firearm, creating panic and stress for everyone brandishing guns. Then the chances of firearm discharge with wife and kids present probably goes way the **** up.
Or maybe the homeowner shouts a perfectly worded movie style line in relaxing but confident tone, with a calmly held gun in the dark, while the armed robbers stare on with wonder and mutual respect, lowering their weapons and awaiting the police arrival.
