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.

Please provide cites. And no..Kellerman has long been disproved, and
he himself admitted his errors.

No, this wasn't Kellerman. It was one of the crime victimization studies. As
I said, I didn't analyze it, so, as far as I'm concerned, it's just a
curiosity. I came across it when I was looking at some comments on Kleck's
study about rates of defense with a gun.

If I come across it again I'll let you know.
