Bad Numbers

Like I've said, statistically speaking, you already know the person you're most likely to have to pepper spray.

There's a darker side to that statistic, and Kathy Jackson takes a closer look at it, and what it implies for some of the statistics often tossed around by anti-self-defense types in gun control discussions.

"At the Rangemaster Tactical Conference several years ago, Massad Ayoob gave a presentation titled, “Lessons from Recent Cases.” It was an eye-opening look at three self-defense cases that went to court, and the legal issues that came into play during each one. One of the cases involved a woman who defended herself against her estranged husband. Based on the information Mas gave, it was a good shoot. But I found myself mourning for a woman who ended up having to shoot (and kill) her children’s father, just to survive the immediate threat to her life."
