[QUOTE="spd67, post: 1940939, member: 9008"] I am currently taking a shooting reconstruction class and was presented with an interesting statistic in the class so I am passing it on to you guys.... "Currently, there are around 235 million firearms owned by civilians in the United States. According to Dr. Gary Kleck, there are over one million firearm-related crimes which occur in the United States every year. There are also 2.5 million firearm-related incidents known as Defensive Gun Uses (DGU) which occur annually. A DGU describes a situation in which a criminal act is thwarted by the intended victim producing a firearm to the assailant. A single shot is never even fired in 92% of DGUs. The following statistics from the Centers for Disease Control break down the number of firearm-related deaths in the United States per year: Suicides 18,000 Homicides: 14,000 Accidental Death: 1,100" I found it very interesting...
