FBI Misreporting Data About Legal Gun Owners Stopping Active Shooters
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2020 8:24 am
More problems with the latest FBI Reports: 15% of Active Shooter Attacks During 2014-19 were Stopped Or Mitigated By Concealed Handgun Permit Holders, But Misses More than Half The Cases
the FBI claims that there were only 9 out of 145 cases (6.2%) where a civilian used a permitted concealed handgun to stop an attack. There 6.2% was statistically significantly different from the 15.4% at the 1% level for a two-tailed z-test. The FBI reports keep excluding cases where mass public shootings have been stopped by concealed handgun permit holders. It hardly seems random that the FBI seemed to systematically miss these cases.
