I know I've asked this question before but I've never really got an answer. How do American burglars know which houses have guns. Is there a central register of non-gun owning houses? Or do people put a sign up saying 'guns here' or 'no guns here - please burgle'. Of course our burglars know there are no guns in the house so more often than not they don't take guns with them.[/QB][/QUOTE]
Actually I believe unarmed robberies/burglaries are more common than the armed kind, but all crimes against individuals KNOWN to be armed are lower.
Jeff Foxworthy a US Comedian from the south put it best in one of his acts...When he described how his "redneck friends" house looks, and where you knew a gun lived (and if you want to know what kind of gun, just break into my house). Wish I could find the transcript of that so I could post it [img]smile.gif[/img]
