Howdy Folks!
What I find, as I look for information about guns used by citizens for self defense, and the defense of others, is how often cops end up shooting the wrong person compared to how often it happens among LAC's.
Does anybody else find it incongruous that 11% of police shootings end up taking out the wrong person compared to only 2% of armed citizens?
Or that some 2,800+ badguys are shot by ctizens compared to only 300+ for cops in a given year?
We hear about how the cops are all highly trained, but the information I am seeing is that cops are less effective at stopping a crime in progress (likely because armed citizens are in more public places than cops in general) and that cops are not immune from firearms mishaps.
Thanks for sharing folks!
