Happens something like 2 million times a year, according to research by Gary Kleck and others. However, I dont’t trust the MSM to present the true story. They’ll find some way to spin it to the anti-gun side as they almost always do.
I have always wondered about that 2 million number. do some division (365 days/year, 50 states etc, etc. and it sure seems like quite a few instances each day in each state (average of course) that a firearm when presented/shown/used prevents a violent encounter. oh well, I’m sure it is substancial anyway.
