Utter bull****. In most cases handguns are never used in anger. 99% of

me and demanded money. I pulled a .45 and told him to run. He did.
Had he tried to ' use it against me' I would have shot him several

My use resulted in no shots fired, so it wasn't even reported, Nothing
in the statistics. There are estimates that guns are used to chase off
trouble more than a million times a year, without anyone bothering to
report it. Many successful crimes are also unreported, so it is hard
to get at the truth, even without an ax to grind.
