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.

The first red flag was “Oregon State University”

South Philly in August listening to their IPads at 3AM.....

>>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.

OSU researchers study risks of armed self-defense

If 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.

This story is a pile of bullshine. There is t a single conclusion, the two doing the study are marketing and business college professors, not criminology or psychology profs. There isn’t a single data list of events where a concealed carrier saved the self or another where some concealed carry type misfired a weapon or hurt someone by misfiring.

in other words, this story is pap....worthless and meaningless

We have fire extinguishers placed throughout the house and garage. My risk of burns while extinguishing a fire might be increased, but calling 911 and waiting, most assuredly means major damage to the house.

Hmmm...I looked up "liberal, gun-grabbing, hand-wringing, cry-baby, snowflake dipshits" and their picture came up.

What a coincidence.

Don't all those gun-grabbers look the same?

I wonder how much of the public funds were wasted for their stupid study?

Female Oregon State University Business School professors — the first experts you always turn to for advice on self defense and the risks, thereof.

To me, 90% of self defense is situational awareness in transitional spaces.

When I go from the store to the car, my eyes and ears are all over the parking lot.

When I am at the gas pump it is only in a good neighborhood and before noon. And, my cc is within reach.

And, when I stop at a traffic light, I pay attention to every car around me. Can they block me in? Are there multiple occupants? Are they sizing me up?

I would never, in a million years, be looking into my phone when I am outside unless it is in my own back yard.

I hope to never have a close call.
