"According to the National Self Defense Survey conducted by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year -- one Defensive Gun Use every 13 seconds."

2.5million Defensive Gun Uses in the US but only about 12K gun related deaths? Either people are excellent shooters or really crappy shooter. Especially considering that the average joe will unloads his gun when he uses it.

The victim doesn't need to fire the gun to be considered using one when attacked.

Sig 229 in .40 cal. carried daily.

I've held a CHL in Texas since the start of the program.

To paraphrase a fighter pilot friend of mine, who was discussing ejection seats:

"You don't need it very often, but when you do, you need it:

-Real bad
-Right now
-and there's no substitute"

Guns should only be handled by adults.

This is why so many adults are incompetent with guns. They never learn to use them properly when they're young.

I often carry my Glock 21 like this one in my car, but never on my person.

Explain? I really like mine. You can beat the hell out of them w/o any problems and they're fairly accurate right out of the box. I know people that don't like the feel. What don't you like about them?

For a few months at University I was convinced that someone was going to attack me that would only be thwarted by firecrackers -- so I had a pocketful at all times, ready to be lit and flung.
