Sadly this stat is most likely true. One of the biggest changes in my life was dealing with children and grandchildren and having to make our home safe. In a home without children or grandchildren I think this stat is not accurate.
Well, other than when a person uses a handgun on their spouse.

And that is the ultimate answer. When called to protect, I want the very best tools at my disposal.
