Military basic training records and manuals instruct that, even with the very best training/brainwashing/reprogramming, nearly 50% of soldiers fail to properly engage their firearm when first confronted with actual combat. 1 in 10 will straight up NOT fight, fire, attack. Those numbers have been fairly standard since the US military started keeping track during the Civil War. Now, while many gun owners in USA have been trained on how to clean, maintain, and fire their weapon, most of them have not been trained in how to stay cool and actually utitlize a killing tool to defend yourself.
to expect that owning a gun somehow makes you and your family safer is a bit of a stretch. Most gun fatalities happen at home, on purpose or by accident, and they have nothing to do with protecting from an intruder....
