As a card-carrying member of the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA), I get some email newsletters on a regular basis from the Mother Ship in Arkansas. Recently, they quoted a statistic from Ammoland that every day more than 2,100 people use guns in self defense. I assume they mean in any 24-hour period and I don't think they include law enforcement officers, but visiting their (Ammoland) website, I can't track down too much regarding sources, other than a pro-gun organization.
Has anyone heard of this statistic before? If it was confirmed from neutral sources, I'd love to be able to use that number in any evolving discussions about the value of defensive guns, particularly handguns.
Thanks for the input.
