I've been armed robbed with a handgun, not burglary but not completely dissimilar. It didn't screw with my mind or make me lose faith in humanity. I testified against the guy and I have to say being cross examined by his attorney really pissed me off. He didn't get caught in relation to his crimes against me. He had stolen some jewelry and got caught when his fence got pinched. I heard that he got tens of thousands of dollars in jewlry which the fence paid about five hundred dollars for. I guess you could make the case that a burglary is more violating than armed robbery, someone going through your personal stuff but personally I'd take burglary over getting a gun pointed at me by a crazy meth head anyday.
