      In Canada I don’t think you can threaten it either way since you can’t legally protect you property with force unless force is used on you.

        That sounds like a good way to get shot first in a country that has its own fair share of guns, not even getting into the fact that violence always favors the aggressor.

          Last I checked Canada is safer than the U.S.

          Quick numbers I could find

          “Between 2003 and 2007, approximately 2.1 million household burglaries were reported to the FBI each year on average. Household burglaries ending in homicide made up 0.004% of all burglaries during that period.”

          So now add in all those home invasions that didn’t get reported for a number of reasons and I would say they are very low risk. Pulling a gun will increase the danger.
