A report from John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), shows that from 2014 to 2022 armed citizens stopped active shooters eight times more often than the FBI claimed.
In the report, excerpts of which Lott published on Real Clear Politics, he noted, “Out of 440 active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2022, an armed citizen stopped 157. We also found that the FBI had misidentified five cases, usually because the person who stopped the attack was incorrectly identified as a security guard.”
He observed, “While the FBI claims that just 4.6% of active shootings were stopped by law-abiding citizens carrying guns, the percentage that I found was 35.7%. I am more confident that we have identified a higher share of recent cases, and our figure for 2022 was even higher – 41.3%.”

start over.
You mean the Gestapo is lying?
Arrest all of them. Charge them with bogus crimes and deny bail (flight risk). Investigate until the day before the statute of limitations runs out and then add additional charges. Rinse, wash and repeat. That is the NEW law.
I wonder what the results would be if you polled FBI agents on whether citizens should be armed or not.
What our corrupt FBI lies?! I am shocked, just shocked I tell you. /obvious sarc
Never used a gun but used a knife a few times to stop criminals. Fortunately just pulling it (not hard to tell if someone knows how to actually use a blade) was enough. Never had to cut anyone but was willing to do so.
Point being no stats exist about such things. I cannot be the only one who has done this.
