CHL statistics help wanted
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:20 pm
So my better half and I were talking parking lot and campus carry and we started looking at statistics, but were unable to find out how many justifiable shooting there have been by Texas CHL holders.
I have a family member who is a rabid anti. We usually get into a political discussion over gun rights. They asserted that CHL is worthless and not that many CHLs actually are involved in justifiable shootings.
Does anyone know where to find this information?
We found some statistics on estimated defensive gun use nation-wide. We found an endless stream of news articles, but no statistics on the number of justifiable shootings by Texas CHL holders. Whenever I present the NRA statistics on defensive gun use nationwide they say it is just an estimate. I additionally point out that most lawful defensive gun uses don't require any shots to be fired. When I point out news articles they say that it is just a sensationalized one off incident. Anyways, I really would like something more concrete for my arguments and to disprove their assertion.
The forums help finding out how many justifiable shootings by CHL holders there have been would be greatly appreciated.
Of course I'm somewhat tempered in my search for statistics knowing that a rabid anti like my family member can never really be swayed.
