So, you’re saying that about 1 out of every 5 times a gun is used, it is used for a criminal act? And... you think that’s a good statistic?

- wonthegame 8y agoI’d also question how the determined how often criminals use guns.
- edoo 8y agoOut of every time one is used against a person. That is a huge distinction. Guns are used tremendously beyond that.
- schwarrrtz 8y agoThat's fair. Still, I suspect the use cases are very different. People who use guns for hunting and defense against large animals don't need concealed carry permits, nor do they need to carry their guns in the city. People who use guns for sport don't need their guns anywhere except at the firing range.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoThey're often the same guns, though. I hunt with the AR-15 that I have set up for home defense, and I shoot competitively with the pistols I carry for personal defense on a daily basis.
- edoo 8y agoBe careful with that depending how you do it. It is highly recommended to not modify your carry gun in any way. A trigger job will be spun by a prosecutor as blood lust.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoMas Ayoob is of that opinion, but I’m not. I’m aware of exactly one example of that happening.
