The Armed Citizen column of the NRA Journals. Some people have commented that the NRA ‘cherry picks’ the reports they include in The Armed Citizen but, through independent research, I have found it largely representative of the overall activities of Armed Citizens. TAC 5 year w tables is an analysis I did about incidents in The Armed Citizen.

Regarding your TAC 5 year w tables… any chance the raw data is available anywhere?
I’ve cited your work to a number of folks regarding why they really don’t need to be carrying 17+1 and 3 extra mags in normal civilian life, how average rounds fired in such situations is only about 2 per your study….but a number of them insist there’s always exceptions.
It’d be helpful to see for example the handgun-only data (since presumably rounds fired is higher on rifles and it’d let me respond to folks who suggest well maybe it’s just a ton of 0 and 1 counts and then a handful of guys who needed 3 mags!), what the other 2 reload cases you mention are apart from the lion, etc. Thanks
Most of the stories (through Feb 2001) are available on this website.
Actually, the rifle round count is generally 0 or 1. Only in the past few years have black rifles started showing up in the stories. During the TAC period I studied, the rifles were centerfire hunting rifles or .22 rifles. Those are either very intimidating when displayed or decisive when fired. A lot of people discount just how lethal one shot from a .22 rifle can be. My colleague Chuck Haggard has investigated quite a few shootings involving .22 rifles. His comment to me was “I never saw a .22 rifle shooting that wasn’t a fatality.”
One of the other reload cases was a Marine who used his Beretta in a gunfight with multiple intruders. I don’t remember what the other was.
