re: #70 jamesfirecat

Here is the crux of the mater.

Those of us who want to push forward this particular idea are not well enough informed on the subject of gun usage to suggest an appropriately tuned test as your disagreements with my suggestions of the “wake up test” proved.

I would suggest that we compile the statistics, find out what kind of situation firearms are most frequently used in self defense in, and then design a test to mirror that particular situation.

This may end up being the same as POST or it may be something different, but I feel it would be important to run the data and see what comes up.

Do you have a problem with those general guidelines?

Not at all. Gathering the stats is the hard part.
