This topic seems to be very confusing seeing how there are issues with data collection but does anyone have some studies that have been conducted to determine the number of self defense uses with firearms every year and how the numbers were determined?
I have read a couple articles on the topic that throw out numbers ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions but some have been retracted by authors and others mention the data might be inaccurate.
While I believe the number is high I want to find more concrete data preferably compiled from law enforcement agencies and not extrapolated from phone call surveys.
