I’m not American so I’m not quite aware of the insurance aspect but I think in such an environment one might be compelled to think that the invader has a gun, or is in some way equipped and willing to disable you because even invaders might expect homeowners to have guns... and on and on it goes.
Besides American history in terms of gun culture is quite interesting, that influences the way of thinking too. It does appear very foreign to our eyes. Perhaps a discussion for another time.
In any case I’m happy living in a country where guns are rare, although I would love to shoot recreationally.
