All right all you knuckle-dragging, right-wing gun nuts, consider yourselves "researched."
These smarter-than-everyone-else Professors attempt to present their research as unbiased, but little red flags are raised throughout the article:
An example:
In July, they published a study finding that gun violence prevention groups are more moderate in ideology than typically portrayed.
"Gun violence prevention groups" = 'NEWSPEAK' for the same old Gun-grabber groups.

Safety and proficiency come at the same price with firearms as with any human endeavor: Practice, practice, practice.

I saw a Salvation Army bell ringer yesterday with an open carry pistol strapped in it’s holster. I don’t think anyone tried to take the money out of the pot.

>>it does not remove all risk.
Staying home, encased in bubble-wrap, doesn’t even remove ALL risk. Life is risky and always results in death.

Oh my, more from people who expect the police to be in your bathroom or kitchen the moment an intruder tries to break into your home.

The researchers determined that while those efforts mitigate the physical, legal and moral risks associated with using handguns for self-defense, it does not remove all risk.
Every thing some one does has some risk.
Nothing is risk free.
A smart person does what seems to be the best for the situation at hand. If it is walking across the street, riding a bike, driving a vehicle to defending oneself.

OSU researchers study risks of armed self-defenseIf you think armed self-defense is risky, just wait until you try unarmed self-defense...

Yes, if you are a criminal it carries all kinds of risk.

I agree, armed self-defense is risky...

It’s a risk vs. benefit analysis like most things in life. I carry daily and raised four children without an incident.
