i am willing to bet cash that many people who report using a gun successfully in selfdefense are actually guilty of an assault witha deadly weapon or perhaps a brandishing during some incident.

it’s difficult for me to imagine generally likely scenarios where a normal person will be able to get their gun in their hand in a useful way during an actual justifiable situation outside the home.

A super well trained hypervigilant dude who is approaching all movement through society as if he were about to engage in gun battle might have a chance. but not an average schlump walking about.

you don’t get to pull a gun on someone and shoot unless theya re presenting you with deadly force. yelling, screaming, being scary or minority, not enough.

id like to hear more about actual anecdotes of successful self defense witha gun. I havea feeling selfreported successful incidents would in large part not stand up to analysis…
