[QUOTE="Rmsanger, post: 2390923, member: 544424"] The scientific process utilizes a controlled environment to test the null hypothesis. If you find insufficient statistical evidence and reject the null then you will most likely not publish your findings as your evidence did not correspond with your theory or belief. Peer reviews journals are useful in certain arguements (e.g.) but common sense rules the day for this one. A gun-owner is more likely to act in bold manner when confronted with a violent situation. The chances are heightened that death/injury will occur, but the question is to whom. It's all about timing and chance. A good shot combined with the opportuntiy of time will win; while the attacker has the advantage of suprise. In my area people get killed every year just driving to work, minding their own business. If my risk of physical harm increases by 10% because I carry a gun so be it, but I'll be dammed if someone is gonna kill me on my way to work without shots being returned.
