Cause And Effect: After You Use Your Gun To Defend Yourself, Expect Delays

By James England

The vast majority of all gun owners will never need to use their gun to defend themselves or their family. A very small percentage of the total law-abiding gun-owning population encounters what’s called a ‘defensive gun use’ situation. That is a situation where the person feels a need to draw his or her gun.

Just because the gun came out doesn’t mean the person used it. It’s still considered a defensive gun use. It should still be reported to the police.
