It seems to me that a more relevant question would be, out of all the people posting in support of handgun ownership, how many have actually been forced to use it in self-defense?

800,000 (the low figure, see my link earlier in the thread) is not a "handful".
And I have used my pistol to defend another, not myself. I did not fire, only brandished, the fact that I had it was deterent enough.
