Woot!
There's also the DoJ BJS's survey of the NCVS, which states that a person who resists an attack with a gun has a 1 in 5 chance of being injured, a person who doesn't resist at all has a 1 in 3 chance of being injured, and a person who resists without a weapon or with a weapon other than a gun has a 1 in 2 chance of being injured. Which odds of being injured in an attack do you prefer? 20%, 33%, or 50%? I'll opt for the 20% every time...
