Do you ever wonder whether your home security system or “Beware of Dog” sign actually keeps burglars away? We did too. So KGW's investigative team sent letters to 86 inmates currently serving time for burglary in the Oregon Department of Corrections. The inmates were asked to respond anonymously to 17 questions detailing how they broke in, when the crime occurred and what they were looking for.

| About question 2, NRA bumper sticker meant lots of guns inside. Not buying that. At my previous home most neighbors got burglarized, some repeatedly, whereas we did not. We had NRA stickers in several windows. I often carried guns to and from my truck in the driveway as a recreational shooter. I also informed the neighbors to discuss with their kids, an unknown silhouette in the dark was not safe around our house. I assume the local druggies figured a high probability of 'getting stopped' if breaking into our home. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
