Guns are good at killing, that is true. But really where they shine is protecting a potential victim from a safe distance. The fact is that bad guys don't like to to try to get close to a person pointing a gun at them. And if they do try to close the distance the victim can stop them.
A good guy with a gun causes a bad guy lots of problems the bad guy does not want.
I personally know of 4 times when a gun was pulled in self defense and it ended the threat.2 had to do with druggies,1 with rednecks, and 1 was 4 guys were trying to get a hold of a girl in a parking lot. None of the good guys reported it to the police for fear of getting in trouble.
