Clearly he found that 2% statistic somewhere and then made up what he wanted to about the other 98%.

In a majority of cases, the mere sight of a firearm will cause the criminal to flee rather than chance getting shot. The percent of the time that a firearm is turned on its owner is probably lower than 2%, especially for trained/licensed gun owners/carriers.
