National FBI Active Shooter Report - John Lott analysis

The Problem With the FBI's 'Active Shooter' Data | RealClearPolitics

In all, the FBI claims that concealed handgun permit holders have stopped 3.2 percent of active shooter incidents.


But the bureau misses at least 23 cases where permit holders saved the day. That means they stopped 11.5 percent of active shooter incidents from 2000 to 2017. We at the Crime Prevention Research Center are more confident that we have all of the cases from 2014 to 2017, when 16.5 percent of attacks were stopped.

"Of all the active shooter events there were 33 at which an armed citizen was present. Of those, Armed Citizens were successful at stopping the Active shooter 75% of the time (25 incidents) and were successful in reducing the loss of life in an additional 20% (6) of incidents. In only 2 of the 33 incidents (5%) was the Armed Citizen(s) not helpful in any way in stopping the active shooter or reducing the loss of life."

Out of all of these incidents, not one innocent bystander was injured by an armed citizen taking action against an active shooter.

Given that almost all "Active Shooter" events occur in "Gun Free Zones", where good citizens with guns are prohibited to bring their guns but the bad-guy isn't....
....I'm not in the least surprised at that ridiculously skewed statistic.


I wonder what car break-in stats are like outside gun free zones as I'm sure criminals probably realize most law abiding "carriers" are forced to leave their weapon(s) in their car?

I don't carry a Beretta 92, so those signs don't apply to me either

If skateboarding ever taught me anything, it's that 20 dollars will buy you a lot of leeway with unarmed rent a cops.
Try it, it's fun

Hmmm, my vision must be poor. I've never seen one of these signs.
