However, for the record, statistics have repeatedly shown that you are far more likely to be killed with your own gun than with the gun of a "stranger".
I have a lot of trouble understanding how folks feel so threatened (other than in special circumstances such as a stalking/court protection order etc) that they feel they need to carry a concealed weapon.
Hunting and varmit rifles carried in your truck are a totally different discussion. I am referring to pistols which are of almost no use other than shooting another human being. And yes, I have carried a USAF officer's 38.
For most folks carrying a concealed pistol increasses the odds you will be shot - and probably with your own weapon.

The only ones I hear touting the "killed with your own gun than with the gun of a stranger" data are the same groups that yell about concealed carry will lead to a bloodbath in the streets. The bloodbath deal has been proven wrong everywhere that concealed carry is legalizedSRBeef":wodc98dw said:However, for the record, statistics have repeatedly shown that you are far more likely to be killed with your own gun than with the gun of a "stranger".
Without automobiles there would be even fewer dead people. A lot more people are killed by cutos and drunk drivers then by guns.alftn":tprrb2f0 said:GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE EASILY WITH GUNS...

I suspect they would have used the guns to protect themselves and their family and friends.
And there are people alive and walking around today because they did have a gun. That part of the equation is usually overlooked because of a lack of statistics and it doesn't make the news.alftn":lnr8sa4r said:GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE EASILY WITH GUNS...
