Lets look at exhibit A:
The results? 15 rounds, 9 innocent bystanders wounded.
Exhibit B:
Result, no innocent bystanders shot, 2 perps wounded and found in the hospital.
So can someone please explain to me again why concealed carriers are so dangerous? Especially given the following information:
–You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist
I really should spend some time aggregating the stats for the number of innocent people shot by officers during an engagement versus the number of innocents shot by a concealed carrier while defending themselves. I hate spending my time doing that because I already know the answer and I know there was a study on it, my Google fu just can’t find it again. I have a feeling though it may be buried and I will probably end up doing it.
Intrepid readers, if you find it, please let me know!

I’d say it proves the point of practice…
I’d say it proves that just because you’re job says you need to carry a gun doesn’t mean you’ll be good with it.
Further, just because you don’t need to carry a gun, doesn’t mean you’re going to be bad with it.
