You do realize that standing in front of that ATM and flashing your piece is against the law don't you. That is assault with a deadly weapon. You don't have to drag the iron out, you just have to pull the coat back and show the weapon. Registered CCW carriers know this and don't do this type of action. This is why you Movie Cultist Rexall Rangers should NEVER have a gun in public.hahhahahah 1.1 million times---bullshit--total bullshit
How do you figure that number to be bullshit?
365 days in a year.
400,000,000 people in the USA
That means that on the assumption that each person encounters only ONE other person each day on average, that translates into 146 BILLION personal encounters between any two people each year.
Now multiply that by the number of assholes who cut you off of the way home from work, tailgate you, and do ALL of the other anti-social behavior you encounter each day. We will assume that all of the rapes, assaults, robberies, shoplifting, etc. are counted among these encounters, because those crimes would not happen unless at least two people encountered each other.
So let's assume that 146 BILLION personal encounters is only ONE personal encounter with another person by EVERY American each day.
Did you see the mailman today? Did UPS stop by? Did you wave some person by at an intersection (or cut him off?) Did you encounter any other person while shopping for groceries? What about your co-workers. We all know that they don't always get along. Let's also add in the Johns picking up the prostitutes, the drug deals, the alcohol-fueled parties that go on all across America every single day .... Did you show a gun to someone trying to climb through your window or kick in your door?
The actual number of personal encounters between any two people in America in a year's time is actually in the TRILLIONS, and each of them is potentially a confrontation, an argument, or worse. So out of those TRILLIONS of personal encounters each year, you cannot believe that 1.1 million times, a gun is used by one person to tell another person to "BACK OFF!" ???
MOST DGU (Defensive Gun Use) does NOT translate into a shot being fired. It can be as simple as some sleazy guy stalking a young lady driving home from work. He gets bold, and pulls up alongside her to spew some vulgar comment, and SHE holds up a shiny 1911 pistol! Chalk up ONE DGU with no shots fired.
Don't be so ignorant, as to believe that 1.1 Million DGUs a year is a fake number. I personally believe it is MUCH higher, but people almost NEVER call the cops and say, "I flashed my gun at an ATM and the bad guy ran away!" or some low life was kicking at your door and you yelled, "I HAVE A GUN!" causing him to run away, so the TRUE number of DGUs will never be known. I am betting it is closer to a BILLION times each year.
And the number of DGUs have been proven to be in the hundreds not millions or billions even with your loose interpretation. There just aren't enough bad guys to go around for you to have those kind of numbers. We would have to start special schools to graduate them at a high rate with special instructions. Hell, 3 of 4 of the DGU people would have to share a single Bad Guy. And, for God Sake, don't shoot him, you need him to keep that number up so high.
