Looking for a website or study that shows how many times guns are used for defensive purposes or to prevent crimes. Need to shut up this anti gun liberal friend of mine. Crimes prevented by guns are not really tracked the same way "gun crime" is. Many are not reported at all. There is a study that shows an estimate of 2.5 million defensive uses of a gun a year |

I would not be here typing this if it were not for my own defensive use of a firearm.
This fact is not recorded in anyone's statistics anywhere. I am not alone. |

It not tracked as most cases there was no trigger pulled, no injuries or dead shitbags. Very hard to estimate but the NRA mags do an armed citizens section each month and those pages are never empty.

There have been around 13 different studies placing the number between 800,000-4.5 million annually. The National Crime Victimization Survey estimated 108,000 per year in 1993 (when CCW was widely illegal or restricted). |

The GOV probably won't keep official track of those numbers because it proves they are lying when they try for more gun control.....

The www.guncite.com link goes into it in great detail with cites to sources. Even some of the big government studies have acknowledged there is a fair amount of defensive gun use. |
