The statistic is a few years old, but based on crime data a firearm in the home was/is 22x more likely to be used against a resident of that home than an intruder. Including suicides.

I'm 72 and that's been true since I was 16. I remember my father discovering that and hiding his 45 in one part of his closet, and putting the ammo in another room in a locked drawer. I'm 72 now.
