Guns used against their owners statistics
after hearing the lies for the evil witch of west, I would like to know the number/statistics of guns of CCW holders and gun owners in general that are used against them.

Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.

Nice find. I've bookmarked that for future counter-arguments.

I found the statistic you are looking for:
100% of all suicide victims have their guns used against them.
These are negative statistics. Crime statistics are notoriously inaccurate, either underreported or not correctly categorized. Any data related to guns being used to prevent crime or guns being turned on their owners will by necessity be anecdotal. There is just not a complete, or reliable mechanism for recording the data and verifying the data and making corrections as time passes to insure that the data has been correctly recorded.
Anyone who has dealt with NIBRs, which is the primary entry point for data in NCIC and the Crime Statistics released by the DOJ, knows exactly how inaccurate the underlaying data can be.
