Why Stories of Self-defense Are Rarely in the Media

Aside from it not supporting the anti-gun narrative. No Shots Fired In 9 Of 10 Defensive Gun Uses (DGUs).

One of the many reasons the actual number of DGUs is hard to nail down is that around 95% don't involve a single fired shot. Because of this, most go unreported to police. The media barely covers incidents where someone shoots a gun in self-defense. They certainly don't report on DGUs with no shots fired.

Statistics on self-defense. Self-defense mindsets. A link to the book More Guns, Less Crime by John Lott. All that and more is at the link.
