maybe the resident PhD (piled high and deep) should do a complete review of available statistics and publish a self-righteous paper on how skydiving equipment owners are much more likely to be involved in a skydiving related incident than those that don't have the equipment the stupidity of both papers would be similar Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

so we have a member of the PhD club (Piled High and Deep) take a study and twist the data to come up with a thread title and statement that is purposefully intended to irritate the pro-gun crowd, when the article itself is aimed in a different direction having read the article, in the beginning it states, "Research suggests that access to firearms in the home increases the risk for violent death." The assumption in that statement is that violent death wouldn't occur if the firearm wasn't present. No doubt that some deaths are impulse actions and the absence of the gun would eliminate those statistics. But it's silly to suggest that all or probably the majority wouldn't occur by some other means. It then goes on to state that 51.8% of suicides are firearm related and 66.5% of homicides are firearm related. What this seems to infer is that if a loaded gun isn't present the suicides and homicides wouldn't occur. It then states that the US has the highest rate of firearm ownership and concludes that the annual rate of suicide and homicide via firearm is higher in the US. WOW - that's simply an earthshaking conclusion. Finally stating, "Results from ecological studies suggest that state restrictions on firearm ownership are associated with decreases in firearm-related suicides and homicides." Another earthshaking conclusion. Is the PhD community so desperate to publish that this type of drivel is actually authored? Maybe because about the only peeps that read this stuff are PhDs and for these types that keep there head buried in academia it may seem like reality. How about a study that looks at the survivability/outcome of an in-home attack on an armed homeowner vs an unarmed homeowner. I'll take my chances by having firearms handy.

plenty of good advice, find something that feels right, don't get wrapped in the caliber issue. accuracy and the proper ammo is more important that size I prefer the S&W M&P Shield 9mm for small carry, the FNP 9-M for carry, and the FNX or FNS for car and home, all in 9 or 40 Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.
