That's accounted for. There've been lots of studies; here's a story about one.

In particular, the researchers found, people who lived with handgun owners had a much higher rate of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner. The vast majority of such victims, 84%, were women, they said.

Living with a handgun owner particularly increased the risk of being shot to death in a domestic violence incident, and it did not provide any protection against being killed at home by a stranger, the researchers found.

People who lived with handgun owners “did not experience such fatal [stranger] attacks at lower rates than their neighbors in gun-free homes”, the researchers wrote, noting that stranger homicides at home were “a small minority” of the homicides observed in the study.

Lmfao, brings up DV stats about housed men shooting the women they live with after years of ongoing violence and abuse all directed towards the one person they end up shooting, to prove, what point exactly, about homeless people???

Maybe get your head out of your ass and admit you might not know what you're talking about?
No?
I didn't think so, but it was worth a try..
Either way, you're full of shit, and at the very least are a wilfully ignorant classist who thinks they know better than those with the actual lived experience.
You don't.
