Constantly see people online talk about "when the robber comes thru my door" or whatever, and some of it is memes, but a lot of it is just people legit discussing what the "best weapon" to fight robbers breaking into your house at night would be - Giving it so much thought as if it is a legitimate concern. So is it? Does it happen a lot?

Like a lot of US crime, not the worst in the world, but not great, and way lower than it was in the crime peak of the 80’s and early 90’s. Also worth noting that most home invasions occur during mid day hours when people are less likely to be home because burglars aren’t morons.
