Not to be a troll and I hope you are quoting some one else, BUT 338 -11 = 327 NOT 227. A quite Large Difference.ELB wrote:http://wkbn.com/2017/02/03/pa-woman-wre ... hoots-him/
This was a few months ago. The woman...
Suspect hospitalized in serious condition....was working at an Upper Darby laundromat ... the suspect forced [her] into a bathroom and then demanded she strip.
The mother of three fought ...got away with his gun after shooting him in the arm...made it to a nearby convenience store ...called the police.
One of the antis talking points against armed self-defense is that the bad guy will just take your gun away from you. Well...
It's worth mentioning again the white paper by Clayton Cramer and David Burnett, where they collected news articles on defensive gun uses between 2003 and 2008k and then analyzed them. Out of 4,668 DGU reports collected, in 338 instances a person wielding a gun was disarmed. In only eleven cases was the "good guy" disarmed (and in one of those, when the good guy's rifle was taken, he drew his handgun and shot one of his assailants). In the other 227 cases, the intended victim disarmed his or her attacker.

Math is a major part of my profession. Seeing mistakes of that magnitude demands that I comment.
After the above comment, I actually followed the link to the White Paper from which those numbers were derived. It seems someone fat fingered a number. The Gross number should be 238. This of course makes the math work out. Typos, the bane of us who peruse these forums.
