Has anyone ever calculated the total number of times per year that someone with a handgun actully stops an intruder or "evil-doer" in order to spare themselves or friends or family vs. the number of times per year that the handgun of the owner who is compelled to protect themselves is the cause of an accidental shooting of a family member (usually a child), an impulsive and/or intoxicated shooting of someone who poses no threat, or taken by a disturburbed person who uses it to kill others. In mathmetical terms - handguns are a terrible bet for safety.
