Similarly 100% of bear maulings happen outdoors.100% of home invasions happen while the occupants are home. Interesting fact.
They’re still wildly unlikely events.

My dear Lord, isn’t THAT the truth.Ender:![]()
When the facts don’t support preconceived opinions, some just fall back on this tacticIn the Kleck & Gertz study they noted that there were thirteen other studies relevant to the topic, and the lowest estimate of DGUs was 700k/yr. What you “know” to be true seems very different from what would appear to actually be true.
Oh, and to be sure, there have been instances of a home invasion attempt where the targets weren’t home.I know this is going to throw of your stats but apparently bear maulings happen indoors as well… It’s just not safe to be home anymore…![]()
Sure. They’re usually classified as something else because few places have a charge called “home invasion”…Those are classified as Breaking and Entering…
Oh no, I’m sure folks who try to record that stuff are well aware. Forced entry and subsequent rape would be considered a “home invasion”, even if there was no specific charge for that.If what you say is true, then more home invasions take place than the records reflect.
There are dozens of articles referring to the hidden CDC study; these are only a few from non-blogger sources.I do not have preconceived opinions on this. I live it. Guns are not used defensively a hundred, fifty, or even ten times, for every time they are used offensively. What I said earlier, and what has not been addressed, is that none of this supposed study, or the claims of the CDC cover-up has actually been documented, as in referenced where it can be seen and studied by all, including all in academia, for it veracity, even for its actual existence.
And only then does the problem with self-reporting become an issue, after the actual existence of this study is established independent of bloggers.
BTW - Another issue that always needs addressing is the worthlessness of any study designed to prove a political point. They always prove the point they intend, though such studies are not real science.
You seem to imagine the CDC commissioned these studies with a pro-gun agenda, and then changed their minds after the research was completed. I find that approach very hard to believe, the CDC has never leaned right on this issue.My dear Lord, isn’t THAT the truth.
Oh…
We’re talking about differen’t people, aren’t we?
