I also saw something recently that will make a lot of gun owners cringe: it
appears that if someone pulls a gun on you while they're committing a crime,
and you don't have a gun, your chances of surviving are some large multiple
of your chances if you do have a gun. I'm not going to go explore that data
but it was published in some peer-reviewed journal. I find it a little
suspicious but, who knows.

I suspect that the survival rate is intimately connected to who gets his
weapon ready first.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

No...it is who uses it first.

So are you going to shoot first and ask later?

Have fun in prison when you shoot an unarmed person or a family member
who forgot their keys.
