FBI Statistics on Armed Citizens at Active Shooter Events

[Lynyrd]

There are some good statistics in this article. Pity that liberals won't take the time to study what the FBI has to say on armed citizens and their effectiveness when present during an active shooter event.

Here's a couple of interesting quotes.

Armed Citizens Are Successful 94% Of The Time At Active Shooter Events.

As you can see below, however, at the 33 incidents at which Armed Citizens were present, there were zero situations at which the Armed Citizen injured or killed an innocent person. It never happened.

I also find it infuriatingly stupid that many employers will not allow their employees to be armed when, according to the FBI, an office or a business is the most likely place for an active shooter event.

And this is the reason we train and do active shooter drills at our church.
We have a Safe Room for members that are not armed and trained.
We have a designated caller. Every one knows what to do.
There are 2 complete trauma packs in the Sanctuary.

First, the FBI didn't say any of this; statistics were gathered by and reported by the FBI and then analyzed by Concealed Carry. This is Concealed Carry's analysis of the FBI stats.

Second, this is a great analysis. Really shows that CHLs/CCW/LTCs are very successful when at the site of an active shooter.

Thanks for providing this!

This is my new crusade! Business that post both 06 and 07 signs should be required to post a fish in barrel sign so that patrons and employees know they are just fish in a barrel

You are correct! But this data provides a pretty good argument against gun grabbing measures proposed by the political left. It should be presented and heard at every debate over gun control.

The political left does not care about truth, it only cares about whatever it takes to achieve their agenda. You could show them this and get them to acknowledge it in writing, but it wouldn't change one iota of their rhetoric or campaign to disarm the law abiding citizens of the country.

Sadly, I think you are also correct. For those like Pelosi, Schumer, Fienstien, Waters, and Sanders, they would say the earth is flat if they believed saying so would help them push their agenda to destroy this country.
