The National Crime Victimization Surveys provide little evidence as to how many home invasions or property trespassing have been prevented by firearms used defensively. However, several examples are coming from the media. For instance, in 2019, a 17-year-old boy was shot as he broke into a house in Tallahassee, Florida. The homeowner fired his gun about 25 times in his attempt to protect his life and property. Similarly, in LA, a business owner defended himself against a gang trying to extort money from him.
