Re: Suprisingly decent article on self defence

[ill_omened]

They're trained very well, but in a very specific niche area. If I wanted advice on carrying out a hardstop, or going through a door against armed suspect I'd go to them.

Not so much long term risk analysis of the risks of carrying a weapon for an untrained individual in day to day usage. More officer safety trainers/Diplomatic protection/Anti-hijack etc. Or researchers who explore the topic. All of which come to a fairly clear conclusion.

And the minutes away stuff is again an issue with inability to judge risk and outcomes. Reality is, it's very unlikely all those gun wielding vigilantes lead to anything more than more bodies.

"...inability to judge risk and outcomes."

Right. So if someone is breaking into my house right then, or I'm under physical attack on the street, I should just wait for the cops instead of aiming for the ten-ring because I'm clearly incapable of judging risk and outcomes. Then the body can be mine.

No, thank you.

Civilians with guns use them in self-defense at least a hundred thousand times per year in the US--and that's a number on the low side, because the stats aren't really available for people who just show the weapon and have a perp walk away looking for easier prey (as happened to a friend of mine once, and is not an isolated incident). The number is probably a couple of orders magnitude higher than that.

But I guess those people don't know anything about risk assessment and would be better off as victims.
