The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence's claim that guns are rarely used successfully in self-defense has been proven false by academic work by criminologist Gary Kleck, who found that guns are used to protect life and property at least 760,000 times a year.
CLAIM: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says guns “are rarely used successfully in self-defense.”
It dismisses “concealed carry” as providing an avenue for safety for Americans, claiming, “Firearms are rarely used successfully in self-defense.” Ironically, Kleck’s minimum annual DGU figure of 760,000 is much lower than figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , which estimated upwards of 2.5 million DGUs a year.
