No bet. The media hardly ever reports when anyone uses a gun in self defense but reports practically EVERY assault and murder with a gun.
In my sixty plus years, I have only read of one case in the local rag where a common citizen brandished a firearm to chase away intruders. Some years ago an area woman noticed a bunch of scruffy teens on her rural property. She came out the door with a shotgun in her hands, and the kids quickly vamoosed. It turned out the teens (eventually caught) had been vandalizing/stealing from vacant, rural homes.
That is the only time I can remember the rag publishing a story like that. Stories in other parts of the country with citizens defending themselves with firearms are never printed. The average reader is led to believe that firearms are only used in the commission of crimes or accidental deaths, especially of children. They want you to believe that no common person has ever successfully defended themselves with a firearm.
