Defensive Gun Use Statistics: America’s Life-Saving Gun Incidents (2024)
The Second Amendment limits the government’s power over the people’s right to keep and bear arms for the defense of our nation. However, Americans uniquely have the right to defend our lives with the most effective tools available.
A widely disputed topic between gun advocates and anti-Second Amendment advocates is the number of defensive gun uses (DGUs) each year. Fortunately, we have data to better understand the effect armed civilians have on criminality.
The following section covers everything we know about defensive gun use in the U.S.
- Reports consistently show that there are between 60,000 and 2,500,000 defensive gun uses per year.
- There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes.
- Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense.
