Howdy Folks!
My wife works at the sheriff's office of a local county.
There was quite a bit of discussion today about the bump in firearm sales since Friday's Midnight Movie Massacre.
My wife was able to speak about the increase in sales, but she didn't know if there had also been an increase in demand for firearms training and instruction.
I was able to tell her that forum members have reported more interest in training, and instructors are seeing an uptick in folks asking for training.
Now the question is this:
Are there any statistics that anybody knows about that might indicate how many armed citizens took action to break up a crime?
Naturally, the question involved Colorado, but it would be interesting to know how many citizen carriers were able to counter an assault or other criminal activity by the use of their guns.
Anybody who can direct me to such statistics will certainly receive my thanks.
I saw somewhere, don't recall where, a claim that armed citizens saved 2,000,000 lives by taking control of situations when bad guys attempted to perform their miscreancies in their vicinity.
Blessings,
