Reply #31: Justifiable homicides do not indicate effectiveness. [View All]

In the vast majority of defensive gun uses, the criminal(s) run when they hear or see the armed homeowner. Not a shot is fired.

By your logic, police shouldn't carry guns either! They are virtually impotent because they manage to kill less than 400 people a year. We should save the expense of spending $600 per cop to buy them a gun and hundred of dollars a year in ammunition and training and use the money to hire more cops instead. Right?
