A burglar doesn't expect to find anyone home; they probably already know when you're likely to be away from home. So having a gun at home doesn't do you any good, because YOU WON'T BE AT HOME TO USE IT! Burglars are also typically unarmed.
A robber who walks into a store during business hours intending to commit a crime of theft is not going to act like a burglar, is he?
