Having a firearm is in many cases the most PEACEFUL way to stop a fight or diffuse a potentially violent situation. I know several people who have prevented a rape or other assault by simply pointing a gun at the perp.
No fist fight, no violence of any kind, and the intended victim is spared.
That happens a LOT more often than the anti-gunners even want to think about.
damn right. before they pulled the numbers even the CDC was estimating that into the 6 figures were stopped annually, as a conservative figure. they admitted that 7 figures was possible.
