Home invaders, on the other hand, are truly the stuff of nightmares. Unlike burglars, these are individuals who break into a dwelling expecting, even hoping, to find you home.

Fundamentally, don’t be scared of buying used in the first place. The average handgun sold in the U.S. sees shockingly few rounds fired before it gets slid to the back of a safe or traded in for something newer and sexier that the shooter spotted on the cover of a magazine or in a YouTube video.
