When you see the huge numbers of people who are supposedly using guns to defend themselves much of that is made up. Nobody really knows for sure how often it really occurs because it normally doesn't end in a shooting. It ends with the aggressor leaving and never gets reported.

Yeah, but as English legislation already pointed it up, elsewhere your subjective feelings only play some role. It is taken into account, but mostly so that what you could expect the situation to be. Just feeling fear, etc. doesn't mean shit elsewhere. That makes it seriously different, as it makes it much more objective.
But I have no argue about this, if you want to know what I think about this subject, read the Harvard's study/ quotes posted. I go with the facts. I can accommodate my opinion with a snap of a finger to match facts. So, if you want to know what I think, read the facts.
