I just found out about this Reddit site: Defensive Gun Use (DGU)
Defensive Gun Use (DGU)
A subreddit dedicated to cataloging incidents in the United States where legally-owned guns are used by civilians to deter or stop violent crime. (Lack of a state "permit" to own a gun does not necessarily imply a gun was not legally owned.)
If you EVER get into a discussion with an anti-gunner and they say that carrying a handgun does no good you now have PLENTY of ammunition.
I counted over 300 reported incidents listed in just the last 60 days (11/16/2014-1/16/2015).

I just paged to the beginning of the list. 998 entries since the site was started on 5/22/14.
It will undoubtedly hit over 1000 reports before it's 7 months old. :shock:

Browsing through that site..... it's amazing just how many defensive incidents occur yet, never make the news on a big level. Looks like the evidence is there, just suppressed or ignored.

Im sure there are plenty of incidents that occur where a defensive posture prevents an incident, & doesn't get reported.

that gives me an idea... for someone who has time and knowledge. some sort of bot specialized in scouring the net and creating a database like this. when left will yell about a shooting, right can counter attack with a big list of legit defense cases. we need something like that.
I'd love to help, but my work demands more time than ever, and I have already couple projects on back-burner.
