    Default Re: How guns are being used by citizens in America each year

    The number for firearms used to defend yourself or family is probably 5 times that number. Most people never report the incident to the police. Police will make a report with your name on it. Then if you really have to shoot a criminal his lawyer will say " Look at this person he has a history of pulling guns on people. He is a menace to society. "

    Trivia about Texas.

    Texas law enforcement officers commit 7 times more criminal acts than that of Texas concealed handgun permit holders in any one year.

    Since the creation of the Texas CHL law in 1996 no licensee has committed a felony crime with a handgun. A few have committed misdemeanor crimes or felonies but not related to a firearm; their licenses are revoked.

    The Texas Dept of Public Safety keeps a public website database of all of the above statistics.
