re:" According to Dr. John Lott, guns are used around 2 million times a year to stop criminal acts. Usually all it takes is the criminals knowledge that you are armed and they flee." So is that what you call gun use? A criminals knowledge that you are armed? Where does Lott get his data if the incidents are not reported? Didn't a professor named Gary Kleck do the same type of study and include things such as racoons raiding garbage cans as threats that required weapons in the home????
