And those are only the counted, known, incidents.

The presence of someone with a weapon will routinely discourage a piece of the garbage from making the last shitty decision of his worthless life.

2 million times every year. Those are not my numbers, that is what the CDC found in their 'investigation' to make firearms 'bad'.

Nevermind all the encounters that don't even happen because someone had a firearm, that are never logged or reported. There shouldn't even be a debate. I can establish my own security however I like as long as it's not imposing on others.
