I read someplace that there is approximately 3k a day events of a armed citizen defending their person in the USA. If its just saying. "Back off I have a gun" or actually in justifiable homicide.

Could be wrong but I don’t think so. I do know that armed folks far out way LEO’s in protecting their person.

So I wonder what the math is on 3k by the amount of people in the US and what would the % be that someone would have to defend there person.

I have been in three so far. Over a period of 14 years. Two of them I wasn’t armed and in state where it was outlawed. The third one the drug addict criminal ran so fast it was amazing. He never saw a pistol but he heard the slide slam and he was gone like lighting. Left his girl behind as well. She was so stoned she didn’t know what was happening.

Actually Gary Fleck's number was two million times a year which is over 5,000 times a day.

Just about right. Gary Kleck of the University of Florida has placed the number at about 2.5 million per year.
