Of those victims, only 127 defensively used a gun, or just a hair under one percent.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 4.2 percent of the victims that were unarmed sustained injuries, while armed victims sustained injuries at a rate of 4.1 percent, which for statistical purposes is virtually identical.<\/p>\n<p>However, the data for the study was pulled from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which is known for consistently generating far lower DGU estimates than other surveys. On top of that, the study authors note that these comparisons may be a bit misleading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstances of self-defense gun use may differ in many ways, including ways we could not control for, from instances where the victim used other forms of self-defense or took no self-protective action,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study did reveal that using a gun defensively during an assault is strongly correlated to reducing property loss. Those victims who took no protective action sustained an 85 percent property loss, while those victims who did take protective action only sustained a 39 percent property loss.<\/p>\n<p>The study is surrounded in controversy over its sourcing of information and how it was collected, and many argue that it\u2019s entirely invalid.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission from freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a study published in Preventative Medicine, less than one percent of crime victims use a firearm to defend themselves, and moreover, those that do are no more likely to escape unscathed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":42396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,326,241,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-brent","9":"category-rapid-fire","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Armed Victims Just as Likely To be Injured During Assaults as Unarmed Victims, Study Finds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While having a gun during an armed robbery may help prevent property loss, it doesn\u2019t do much in the way of stopping you from getting injured.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/armed-victims-just-as-likely-to-be-injured-during-assaults-as-unarmed-victims-study-finds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Armed Victims Just as Likely To be Injured During Assaults as Unarmed Victims, Study Finds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"According to a study published in Preventative Medicine, less than one percent of crime victims use a firearm to defend themselves, and moreover, those that do are no more likely to escape unscathed.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/armed-victims-just-as-likely-to-be-injured-during-assaults-as-unarmed-victims-study-finds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-06T11:43:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T00:19:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/maxresdefault-2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
