Thanks for doing the statistical research...<g>

>>80,000 people used a weapon (unspecified) for self-defense against a violent attack in 1998 - vs. 9,143 people who were murdered with a firearm<<

Those figures are highly impressive and I'm not surprised... good for you to hold off the perpetrator... without that firearm you may not be here to post your comments... the police are very well trained, but are very under staffed.....

Just a curious note here, I heard that in Dodge City back in the wild west, there was very little crime... that was because the criminals could not find an easy mark, everyone had protection and the criminals knew it.....
