There is a huge difference between acting stupidly in the heat of the moment like trying to run from the police, and planning a burglary. I just can't see why any burglar wouldn't work on the assumption that there might be a gun in the home.

>>Sorry then, but that brings me back to my first question. Why would anybody with at least one functioning brain cell not automatically assume (or at least plan for the possibility) that there is a gun in there? I know if I were going to break into a house, my plan A would be based on that assumption.
