Right to bear arms?

[dsirkle]

Technically the only people using guns for good are officers, and there are definitely more people in crime.
However, things like hunting and protection are different. They aren't doing anything 'good' by killing something but it may be for their hobby or families sake.

I do agree that we have the right to bear arms. Don't worry.
But everyone says it about protecting their family from crime. What I want to know, is how many people have actually needed to use guns to protect themselves or their family? I haven't heard of many cases so I'm slightly confused.

Due to the fact that anti gun people claim that it is rare for anyone to use guns to save themselves or others from rapists,home invaders and killers, the NRA has for several years published monthly a whole page of these incidents in short paragraphs giving names,dates and details of the incidents in their monthly magazine "The American Rifleman" under the heading "The Armed Citizen." You can read past articles on line by doing a Google search for NRA The Armed Citizen.
