Re: [RC] guns - Sisu West Ranch"...1. First people that carry a weapon are more likely to be injured from it than their attacker. 2. People that carry guns are statistically no safer from crime than those that don't. 3. Criminals that need or want a gun will often target women and small men they think are carrying a gun to get one and take it away from them...." Both those statements are BS gleaned from an anti gun book (I can't remember which one). The basic fallicy was that when looking at the statistics the anti-gun writer lumped all of those who produced a firearm during an attack together. If you remove assaults where the assaulted person went and got their gun AFTER THEY WERE INJURED from the unsuccessful attack column, the statistics go completely the other way. Unfortunately I do not have the reference handy, but I do know that it was in a reputable publication and done by a reputable profirearm person.
