Hmm, saying "no" for gun ownership might actually encourage a visit to a soft target.

I guess they would just have to find out the hard way how soft the target is. I'd rather they come under prepared than over.

If someone was actually being nefarious in a phone poll to case potential houses, not answering the question would be almost as good as confirming that you do have firearms.

Well for one, I don't have a landline, which I believe is how phone surveys are still conducted. Landlines are decreasing due to the popularity of cell phones.

For two, isn't your landline tied to your home address via the phone book and/or 411/information?

For three, even if I had a landline and someone called and asked if I had guns, I would lie and say no. Why? Because my address is tied to that number. I don't want to tell a stranger what I have in my home.
