in Stopping Active Shooter Situations<\/h2>\n<p>A groundbreaking \u200bstudy has uncovered significant errors in FBI active\u200b shooter reports, leading to a serious undercounting of instances where a &#8220;good guy with a \u2063gun&#8221; has intervened to\u200b prevent or minimize the\u200c damage caused by\u200c an active shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/crimeresearch.org\/2023\/08\/massive-errors-in-fbis-active-shooting-reports-from-2014-2022-regarding-cases-where-civilians-stop-attacks-instead-of-4-6-the-correct-number-is-at-least-35-7-in-2022-it-is-at-least-41-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) reveals that armed civilians have actually stopped\u200b attacks at a much higher rate than the FBI&#8217;s \u200dreported\u200b 4.6 percent.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in incidents that occurred outside of &#8220;gun-free\u200b zones,&#8221; an astonishing 63 percent of attacks were halted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-fbi-is-undercounting-the-number-of-armed-citizens-who-stop-attacks\/\" title=\"The FBI Is Undercounting the Number of Armed Citizens Who Stop Attacks\">legally armed citizens<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n<p>From 2014 to 2022, the actual number\u200d of active shooters stopped by armed \u2062civilians stood at 35.7 percent, nearly eight times higher than the FBI&#8217;s figure.<\/p>\n<p>The CPRC concludes that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-sheriffs-tell-newsom-they-wont-enforce-covid-curfew\/\" title=\"California Sheriffs Tell Newsom They Won't Enforce COVID Curfew\">law-abiding citizens<\/a> \u2063stopping these attacks are not rare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Carl Moody, the CPRC&#8217;s research director, the data compiled by the CPRC shows \u200bthat armed citizens\u200d have\u200c not accidentally shot innocent bystanders.<\/p>\n<h3>The Discrepancy Between FBI and CPRC Numbers<\/h3>\n<p>So why is there such a significant difference between the FBI and CPRC\u200c numbers?<\/p>\n<p>According to the CPRC, \u200bthe FBI&#8217;s definition of\u200c active shooter incidents excludes those related \u2064to other criminal\u2063 activities, such as robberies or disputes over\u200b drug turf.<\/p>\n<p>The CPRC also highlights that the \u200dFBI failed to acknowledge\u200c civilian involvement\u2063 in some incidents and misidentified civilians in others.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in a 2019 incident at a Texas church, the FBI classified \u2064a parishioner who \u2064stopped a gunman as a security guard, despite the fact \u2064that he was just a member of the church who had volunteered to\u200b provide security.<\/p>\n<p>The CPRC points out that the FBI&#8217;s numbers are \u200cmisleading because they ignore the fact \u200cthat approximately half of these attacks occur in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gun-rights-activist-tells-congress-education-can-reduce-shootings-not-more-laws\/\" title=\"Gun Rights Activist Tells Congress Education Can Reduce Shootings, Not More Laws\">gun-free zones<\/a>, \u2064where \u2062law-abiding citizens are unable to carry firearms for self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2014 \u200dand 2022, citizens stopped\u2064 104 out of 204 \u200dpotential or actual mass shootings in \u2064areas \u2063where guns were \u2062allowed, meaning that\u200b 51% of \u200battacks were thwarted\u200b by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-shows-good-guys-with-guns-are-very-effective-in-stopping-active-shooter-situations\/\" title=\"Study finds armed individuals effectively stop active shooter situations.\">individuals\u200c legally carrying concealed handguns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The CPRC concludes that if \u200dgun-free\u2064 zones were eliminated, more people would \u2063be able\u200c to\u200c intervene and prevent these attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2064the\u2064 CPRC&#8217;s findings,\u200b the FBI has not responded to inquiries regarding its active shooter numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the corrected data debunks the notion that incidents like these are rarely stopped by a &#8220;good guy \u2064with a gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/study-shows-good-guys-guns-effective-stopping-active-shooter-situations\/\">The\u2062 Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>have played a more significant role in stopping active shootings than previously reported.
