That's Freepers' fault. If we kept a running total of incidents nationwide, we can instantly educate/challenge these apparently clueless "reporter"/commentators.
the problem is the MSM in the different states totally ignore these incidents, but most of the local press always report them. How can we do better?
We have a total of incidents, by month, on Gun Watch, since 2004.
The NRA runs a monthly column called the Armed Citizen
They are pretty well coverd in the Banglist as well, just not as accessable, IMHO.

I say that Henry Blodget hasn't heard of the Loganville, Ga woman who defended herself and her kids in a home invasion. Might not be a bad idea to flood his inbox with the many many many many examples of people defending themselves.

Might best we consult abb on that one . . .I would think, tho, that Freepers would be posting a lot of the local articles you want, here on FR. I would imagine that the main problem is that most defensive uses amount only to a brandishing which convinces a menacing individual that there is no point picking what is at best a fair fight.
