I thought other might be interested in this. The actual white paper is 58 pages long. I would suggest downloading the pdf and reading that way. I will be. http://www.cato.org/publications/wh...when-criminals-face-armed-resistance-citizens http://www.cato.org/guns-and-self-defense/ http://www.cato.org/pubs/wtpapers/WP-Tough-Targets.pdf
Started reading some of this info at work the other day but just got back to it. Very eye opening and funny how most of the stories that represent someone protecting themselves with a firearm legally and successfully never make the news. Some of these stories also tell of someone saving many lives with their actions as well, still little to no coverage.
Those stories never make the news because of the agenda of the people running/owning most of the media sites. We had a guy the other day in our county defend himself and his property. He heard a noise late at night and went outside to discover a man standing in his carport and thought he was attempting to quickly arm himself after the encounter. The citizen then shot off several rounds and the guy jumped in his car and drove off.
