BTW II --
My point concerning red states wasn't that you wouldn't get broken into here.
My point is that you can legally defend yourself if it happens (but hopefully not).
By contrast -- your average blue state is very likely to throw you in jail if you use deadly force against an intruder. I lived in MA for a while. Boston, in fact (Woburn). That state was known to crack down hard on individuals that defended themselves "too vigorously". Even in their own homes.
Red states tend to view the matter quite differently.
Down South -- if he's in your house, he's dead.
It's called the right of self defense.
