How Often Do People Really Use Guns In Self-Defense? w/ John Lott CN Podcast #15

Defensive Gun Use
bit.ly/2CHLudt
The mainstream media, the anti-gun lobby, and anti-gun politicians want you to believe that we have a gun violence epidemic where more people are killed with guns than lives are saved because of guns.
In reality, the number of self-defense uses is exceedingly higher. I sit down with John Lott who is a pioneer of the research regarding defensive gun uses and get to the bottom of the truth.

Having a gun for self protection is like having a fire extinguisher for fighting fires, 99% never get used for thier purpose. But people still keep fire extinguishers around. Better to have it and not need it than need and not have it.

[@TheAndrewdfd]

Fire extinguishers don’t get used to kill thousands of people a year. (I say thousands instead of the more accurate “10,000” because I do acknowledge most firearm deaths are attributed to suicides. But, murder by firearms is still in the thousands a year)

I was one of the many millions that used a gun, in my case shotgun, without having to shoot to defend myself and handicapped mother from 3 and possibly 4 home invaders. No shots fired. I just simply placed myself in a ready~to~ shoot position if a threat(s) would have forcibly entered my home. Threats left faster than they arrived after one of them saw the barrel of my shot gun pointed toward the rear doors. I was already on the phone with a deputy before the incident, and the sheriff finally arrived...14 minutes later! I did everything right, according to the anti~gun people, but police showed up too late. My anti~gun mother finally realized the reality of people being the first and often only first line of defense.

[@campot5600]

I had to use my firearm in a self defense situation, instead of helping me out and aiding me as a victim, they made me look like a suspect and a bad individual. They took 2 years to dismiss my case and charged me with multiple charges. When I explained the situation they threw me in jail but luckily I had bonded out. I was charged with a felony and misdemeanor. My case kept getting continued and continued. I also was grazed in my head and almost died to 4 individuals shooting at me. I defended my brother and friends at the time. I was jumping in front of bullets to protect my people. Im glad I’m here today and I’m glad I wasn’t convicted. They also confiscated my firearm and will not give it back but it was fully legal. Be careful when defending yourself. You may be looked at as a person who wasn’t and will take years of your life to prove it. Im just now getting better. I have joined SDI for a gunsmithing career, something I’ve always wanted to do. I just hope whoever has been in a situation like me can recover and do well mentally later. I understand how cruel the system can be to a law abiding citizen. I didn’t even have a lawyer either. I was appointed a public defender who wanted me to take a plea. I couldn’t take a plea to something that was self defense. It was a very rough time in my life because I was scared I was going to jail for a long time. Please be careful everyone. Stay safe and stay dangerous.

[@dougkraft485]

Great conversation with Mr. Lott. Thank you so much for having this content and sharing it with us all.

[@bambamnj]

Excellent video. This interview needs to be seen by every citizen of the US. Both of these people are highly intelligent and know about the subject matter of which they speak. Great job both of you. Extremely interesting and the information you both provide is so helpful. Thank you Colion for everything you do.

[@johnsmith-yl5go]

I agree. Required learning for every 10 yo. Introduce them at a proper age, don't brainwash them.

[@soulbearer6214]

That was a 5 star discussion. Very informative. Hopefully people who are anti gun watch this. Eyes need to be opened.

[@CBRpaul]

Thank you Colion and Mr. Lott for all the great information. Insane amount of detail for 2A community.

[@philshock3805]

What a fantastic conversation - learned a lot from watching and listening. Thank you, Colion!

[@d0peshow]

Colion, you're one of the best listeners i've seen. You genuinely listen, whereas most people are just waiting for their turn to talk.

[@markusroads3779]

John Lott, I have many of his books. The man is outstanding and you too Colion

[@adrianwilson4197]

Like to send Joe Biden some of his books, but Biden can't even read a telepromter.

[@alanmazzucchelli9013]

Colion should preach gun worshiping to the mothers in the black community who have had their sons murdered. How manyothers would that be Mr. Noir during your propaganda spouting lifetime.

[@halletts1171]

Colion, Great interview with John Lott. I Went over to the CPRC and signed up for the email/message notifications. What a wealth of information on that page! Thank You for all you do for gun rights and protecting the 2nd amendment!

[@PhilipFear]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen.... Great job and kudos for you both, thank you...

Collectivists want to take your rights, you have to question their true motives.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

To me, the question is, essentially, "What are they planning to do that I would want to shoot them for?"

[@clamum9648]

Collectivists are authoritarian scum

[@nil981]

Collective societies often have better quality of life for their citizens and have objectively superior outcomes for education, healthcare, crime, and basic human rights. Are there exceptions yes, are rhese societies perfect? No. I'm not ignoring that. European and Asian countries have far lower rates of violent crime and school shootings, police shootings, police brutality, and other crimes. Because government economical policies that guarantee healthcare as a basic human right, dont stigmatize and ostracize mental health issues, and dont abuse the mentally ill and mental health standards. Gun control may not work but dammit we have other options to reduce and eventually eliminate all violent crime and make people far less likely to want to commit mass shooting.

[@clamum9648]

@@nil981 You can't observe European and Asian societies having lower rates of violent crime and conclude "that's due to collectivist." It's ridiculous to compare countries like that. There's so many variables that are different that comparisons are almost meaningless. This country was founded on respecting and honoring the individual and I'll fight to the death to keep it that way.

[@ganggreene678]

@@nil981 if only politicians were interested in actually solving the problem by expanding mental health services. they aren't. they only want to disarm the public and make them subject to whatever crazy shit they want to pull

I wish the urban areas would open their ears. And listen to what this gentleman is saying. These politicians the media don't have your best interests in mind.

They thrive on chaos, & Fear

[@peekaboo1575]

They keep voting democrat for decade after decade and still blame BS like 'institutionalized racism' for their problems. Sad.

[@akfrench3579]

Refreshing to hear some truth for a change, Thanks to both of you!

[@noonespecial9840]

Excellent interview, you're both doing great work. Thank you.

[@TheJagjr4450]

The thing is most people who have to either pull their weapon or illustrate their possession of such in a defensive situation do not report the incident to any official agency.

[@gpa7069]

I have carried legally and non legal for 40 years. I have only pulled it on someone once. 4 thugs tried to pull me out of my truck (luckily my doors lock when my truck is in drive) and just the fact that I had the jump on pulling my firearm saved my life.

[@travisgossett9023]

Thank you for this video. I always had a feeling but your content shows it plain. Keep it up, your the man.

[@TacticalPoppins]

Excellent interview. Thank you for providing concise information.

[@lovesammyjr131]

This is great Colion! I've been following and reading John Lott for years. I've been following you everywhere you are also. You are both clear headed, rational, common sense thinkers. I have been trying to get people to read John Lott for years and years. I've been shooting for 65+yrs and I never stop learning. When I find excellent sources of information I stick with them. Thanks for interviewing John Lott he is an American treasure.

I’m 2/3rds of the way through this video and this is probably the most informative podcast on this subject I have ever heard

[@chaplainand1]

Thank you - I really enjoyed this posting. Very informative asa well as interesting. Blessings to you and yours.

[@ThomasTiernan]

I don't know I've missed you all these years, but boy am I glad to have found you. Your voice is succinct and to the point on the important things. Now I'm taking the time to catch up on all of your videos. Thank You!

[@EarthAltar]

Excellent interview, Colion! John Lott is the man to ask on this topic.

[@jamesvatter5729]

"Well informed people that read those types of newspapers." That statement seems contradictory. If I didn't know who this man was, I might have turned this off...but he is a great interview. Good stuff, Colion.

[@adamhearts9195]

He also mentioned that they don't have the police under their control and that they are hard to control LOL We all know who are going to be the first people at your door when that legislation comes It sounds like you means well but he himself lives in a little bubble away from the normal person

[@wilcox-outdoors]

The right will listen to thoughts from both sides and come to their own conclusion. The left will only see, hear, and speak left. I'll read a lefty article about gun control. Try getting them to read mine about the actual effects.

Truly one of the most interesting and informative videos that I have honestly stayed to watch. Thank you both. I am a 2A believer. I do carry to protect that which I hold dear to me. I pray that I never have to unholster. But I stand strong knowing that as a Veteran, and in my training that if it comes to that need I'll do what is right.

[@markwebb8013]

Preventative gun use stories are maybe more important to hear about than crime commitment stories because it shows the potential to stop crime before it happens.

Great interview find, I am excited to watch!
