Yup. Burglary + deadly weapon = Class 2 felony and potential life sentence.

It's worth noting that Virginia's burglary laws have a five-year minimum for burglary involving rape, robbery, arson, murder. However, like other states, Virginia has a one-year maximum for burglary involving larceny or other felonies (including kidnapping, oddly, which is lumped in with the rape/robbery/arson felony category at common-law).

Less stringent punishment for young-OR-first time offenders. The older(should know better) and repeat offenders should get the book thrown at them heavily.

Besides the sentence, burglars risk the buckshot.

Looks like buckshot-free DC checks in at #5. And these SimpliSafe clowns make their money by pushing unnecessary and ineffective home security devices. Not such a hot source for unbiased, impartial information there.

So many citizens are packing heat and are just waiting for someone to break into their home so thay can blow them away. Sadly we are still faced with the reality that only one in twenty to bullets fired in self defence actualy defend anyone. The other 21 rounds end up hurting or killing a family member or guest or even the family pet.

Even though DC comes in 5th, what is the burglary to conviction rate there? Per capita rate? This is just about sentencing. If they don't catch anyone, who gets sentenced?

Va and SC proportionately have many more burglars in prison (or dead from armed homeowners) than DC.

@Old Jim: The other 21 rounds are spent at the range.

The only thing the DC police could catch is a cold.

So the rankings in the original article are great except for the ones (DC) that you peabrains don't like. What a bunch of colossal fucking loser assholes.

By the way, those living in a home with a gun are four times more likely to die from a gunshot wound that those living in a home without a gun. People without guns don't kill. People with guns do.

That's because 60% of firearm fatalities are suicides. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/05/24/suicides-account-for-most-gun-deaths/

Are you so totally fucked up as to believe that suicide leaves one less dead than homicide? Dead is dead, asswipe, and FOUR TIMES is FOUR TIMES. Guns don't make you safer, they make you FOUR FUCKING TIMES more likely to die of a gunshot wound if you live in a household that has one. Homicide, suicide, mistaken identity, accident -- it doesn't really matter much to the undertaker. Stupid fucktard.

Fortunately, an unwanted criminal who decides to burglarize (or rob) my house will face the Judge, Jury and Executioner all at the same time. Plus, the Virginia taxpayers won't pay a dime to put the thug through a trial and then cover some of the jail time / expenses.

Your stupid logic is so stupid. Your 100 TIMES more likely to die in a fatal car wreck being in a car than just owning a gun.

What's gun got to do with car fatalities? Nothing except there are NINE TIMES more of them every 13 seconds. YOU are 8 TIMES more likely to kill someone when YOUR TEXTING. Stop trying to kill everyone. PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!

He's simply explaining the data. 60% of the deaths are suicides.

Another internet tough guy. Pretty impressive. Burglars however do not bust in like the Spanish Inquisition. They go to great lengths to arrive at your home while you are out. They don't want to deal with panicky assholes with guns in their hands. That is not a win for them. A win is quietly slipping in and then just as quietly slipping out again with all your goodies, especially with all your stupid guns. Freshly boosted weapons fetch a very good price on the street, so be sure and put signs out advertising the fact that you are all armed to the teeth and everything. Dorkus!

Actually, numbers of traffic and gun fatalities are about level.

Name calling? What kind of coward are you? Oh, I'm aware of what a burglary is, but you fail to realize that I have neighbors who are like-minded, caring neighbors that would protect my property, just as I would for them.

I'm not a "keyboard warrior". I'm just laying it down the same here as I would if I were to discuss my views with another member here face-to-face. That's just the reality of it. Now, scat!

No shit, Sherlock. How many successful gun suicide victims have you ever interviewed? None. That's because they are all dead. Those who live in a household with guns are FOUR TIMES more likely to die from a gunshot wound than those who do not. The varieties of dying from gunshot wounds don't enter into it. Dead is dead. How is this not completely clear?

Dude, they are at work, or busy watching TV, or playing golf, or out grocery shopping, or off for the weekly session at the nails salon. Burglars case the neighborhood. Any udea what that means? It's easy to do. But those "Neighborhood Watch" signs sure are scary. Spend money to put a lot of those up. Hahahahaha!!!

Good Lord you have no clue at all. You live in the sort of infantile playland world that you should have outgrown by about age 10.

Do you think anyone is really believing the crap you are responding with? Infantile playland? That sounds sort of like the state of affairs that are going inside your head at the moment.

Go ahead and think you can predict the reactions and actions of people. There will be a time in your life where you'll realize that you are an amateur at having such thoughts.

me with a gun : dead invader
me without a gun : my family dead/raped

simple! Good luck to those of you that bring a bat to a gunfight. And safety is important, just as with EVERYTHING else dangerous in your house/life.

Who said that?

Oh, you did.

Please continue arguing with yourself. I don't believe you'll need my help pummeling your strawman, but I'll assist anyway...you're right. Dead is dead.

You decimated the straw. Congrats. *thumbs up*

Regardless of you're meltdown, an implication of your post in the context of the surrounding posts is that gunowners are four times more likely to have their guns used against them by another offending individual. So, the suicide data clarifies any erroneous inferences others may gather from your 4x-claim.
