Firstly, whenever I see a statement claiming X, Y, or Z to be true on the basis it's a "fact" with little to no other detail, I'm immediately skeptical.
While it's easy to find numerous examples of people being shot despite having a gun, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to quantify the number of people who had a gun and scared the intruder away.
Furthermore, the mere perception of a person possibly being armed dissuades many would-be intruders from even trying.
