Defensive gun uses far outnumber gun homicides

Posted by David Hardy · 22 September 2021 05:19 PM

That's the subject of an article at Real Clear Investigations. Prof. Kleck has written first-rate articles and books on the subject for decades.

Update--I was referring not to this article, but to the work of Prof. Gary Kleck. Kleck, Gary and Marc Gertz. 1995. "Armed Resistance to Crime: the Prevalence and Nature of Self-defense with a Gun." Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology 86(1):150-187.

Prof. Kleck? Article is by John Lott, no?

There are far more defensive gun uses than murders? Of course there are... but what is the ratio of defensive gun uses versus gun crimes in general, not murders alone? That would be a more relevant comparison.

If you look at killings alone, gun murders more much common than justified homicides.
