Don't the vast majority of burglaries happen when the occupants aren't home? The owner having a gun doesn't really matter much in that situation. Other crime statistics would be more indicative of the crime prevention effect (or lack thereof) of a high rate of gun ownership. There's also the matter of there being other factors which increase or decrease the crime rate in a particular area - unemployment, poverty, etc.
