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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
