JinnKai....DOJ gets its figures from survey sampling of census interviews.

THe FBI Uniform Crime Reports are the official crime stat reports filed by state and local police with the FBI.

I know the FBI reports arent totally inclusive and rely on estimates where data is not submitted, but the DoJ relies too heavily on personal perceptions of being a "victim". Both are flawed.

But even under your numbers....its still no more than 1% of the population (3 mil out of 300 mil).....hardly a "rational eventuality" IMO.

As I said, take precautions, know your surroundings, carry if you want (I wont)...but dont live in fear that it will happen to you..because odd are, it wont.
