I find this all very interesting, especilly when I used this same report on another thread, Kirate that this report proved nothing. Now he uses to support his view. There are a few things in this report Kirate did not use, as he claims I also exclude crime victims are willing to take the risks of forcefully resisting the offender is that most offenders faced by victims choosing such an action are unarmed, or armed only with less lethal weapons. Relatively few victims try to use a gun against adversaries who are themselves armed with guns. According to this survey, offenders were armed with some kind of weapon in 48% of DGU (Meaning 52% were unarmed, really brave thise armed "other victims" are facing unarmed people with a gun). but to be hone, only 14% of all violent crime victims face offenders armed with gun. Only 19% of all DGU cases involved only assault. Only 24% of the gun defenders in the present study reported firing the gun, and only 8% report wounding an adversary Further, 17% of the gun crimes reported in the NCVS involve the offender shooting at the victim, and only 3% involve the victim suffering a gunshot wound. Only 24% of the incidents involved the defender firing their gun, and only 16% involved the defender shooting at their adversary. [89] In only 4.5% of the cases did the offender shoot at the defender (I wonder who they were shooting at in the other 84% let alone who the hit in other 96.5%) 46% of the Defender were not threaten nor attacked. 11% did have property taken. The Crime most Defender thought was being commited, burglary 33.8%, rape and sexual assualt was only 8.2%. The Offender shot at the Defender 4.5% as compaired to 24% of Defenders shooting and remember it was only 16% did they shoot at Offender only hiting the Offender 3% of the time. I also use the same FBI report that you again stated was meaningless because it came from the government. I have stated that studies like the FBI report, but yours was for 2010 the latest 2012 show crime going back up... http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/17/us/violent-crime/index.html http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2012/1018/Spike-in-assaults-leads-US-violent-crime-rate-to-first-increase-since-93 So all you Munchausen (including those "other victims") out there...sorry go solicite sympathy elsewhere
