Lets state the glaringly obvious:Guns are not a viable form of self defense in the majority of cases

3. According to FBI stats

The FBI, in the Uniform Crime Report (UCR), tells us that most shootings – about 80% – occur in low or reduced light. Most shootings involving police officers and civilian concealed carry permit holders happen at a distance of less than ten feet with average distance at three feet. In most police shooting the average number of rounds fired is ten. Keep in mind that most police agencies have a magazine capacity of 15 rounds. Of those ten rounds only two hit the subject that means an 80% miss rate. It is fair to say that most gun fights last about 10-15 seconds.

I agree with the poster. I have found, thru my on personal experience, that the time it takes to draw a weapon is time lost to stop the attack. This is not in 100% of cases, just most.
