The same way homes with Alarm systems and large Dog's deter criminals, a know gun owner would have to have the same effect... at least that's what logic would tell me. And logic tends to know some stuff.

there is no "next door", the person next door is just as likely to have a gun as well... so the situation is: attacker knows that victim is likely to have a gun, what's his best strategy? Obviously there are only 2 reasonable strategies:
a. wuss out
b. worry about his own survival, go for an easy kill
and I suppose
c. risk getting shot
but only an idiot would pick that option...
