Instead of allowing antiquated/unrepresentative "data" to guide how many shots one should be prepared to use in defense of his/her LIFE, why not take REALITY as a guide? What types of weapons do gang members, say, use in their crimes? How commonly are 9mm weapons available and used by criminals?

Common sense, I imagine, is arguably that most potent "weapon" in self defense.
