You don't evaluate the success of burglar alarms by the number of burglars caught. You - and your insurance company, which gives discounts on homeowner's policies if you have a remote-monitored alarm - evaluate the success of burglar alarms in terms of deterrance.

VPC won't address the issue of how many women never have to shoot any attacker - due to the guy running when he sees her with it or hears her yelling "I've got a gun" or her stalker ex knowing that she's got one.

It's like capital punishment. When asked by a journalist whether he still believed that capital punishment deterred murder when Death Row was full of the undeterred, a police chief remarked that those who were deterred weren't conveniently gathered one place for counting!

GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - emphasizing woman-friendliness of tested guns!

LMAO! That is most excellent...

Same concept used for car alarms. I always wonder if the groups that put out these studies purposely ignore the deterence offered by firearms or are the authors just really dumb?
