> In a Philadelphia-based study

I finally had the time to read the study and it's got plenty of problems. Painting it as more legitimate than the dozens of studies showing hundreds of thousands of defensive firearm usages is inane.

For example the differences between the case and control groups:

"compared with control participants, shooting case participants were":

- "more frequently working in high-risk occupations"

- "had a greater frequency of prior arrest."

- "significantly more often involved with alcohol and drugs"

- "more likely to be located in areas with less income and more illicit drug trafficking"
