If you use a gun in self defense, the robber will just take it away

Posted by David Hardy · 17 November 2015 03:57 PM

Apparently this Alaskan store owner never heard of that idea. When the robber transferred the gun to their weak hand, she grabbed it and threw it away. The robber then came at her with a knife, and she took that away, too. Her cries for help brought people rushing from nearby stores and they held the robber for police.

When Clayton Cramer and Dave Burnett collected 4,699 news articles about defensive gun uses, analyzed them, and wrote "Tough Targets," they found 238 instances where someone was disarmed of his gun.

But in only 11 cases was it the good guy who lost his gun; in the other 227 the would-be victim disarmed his assailant. And out of the 11, in the case where two bad guys took away a victim's rifle, the victim drew his handgun and shot one of the two assailants; the other fled.

Their paper is hosted at the Cato Institute website.
