Get back to me when you find someone who is objective and who knows what they are talking about. Is Gabor's work peer reviewed? Has he had anything published in criminology journals?

Given the large number of defensive gun uses by non LE each year, their conclusions are absurd. Also, most PDs don't have the level of training they support, certainly not NYPD.

I wasn't dancing, I was being straight up. There are numerous examples of armed citizens performing as I claim, and opposite as you claim.
