Re: Female Home Inspector Robbed On The Job In Florida
It's instructive to look at the numbers: there are likely 1.5-2M defensive gun uses (DGU's) per year,
GunCite-Gun Control-How Often Are Guns Used in Self-Defense?
but only around 200 dead criminals as a result:
Bureau of Justice Statistics Homicide trends in the U.S.: Justifiable Homicides
so pretty clearly - for better or worse - the vast majority of people who employed a firearm for self defense were very reluctant to employ deadly force except as a last result.
