April 6, 2007 — Have you ever defended yourself from a crime in your home, in your business, or in public by using a gun? Perhaps you warded off a potential attacker by simply showing a gun?
40 states now allow their citizens to obtain conceal-carry permits for handguns. Some people say that's dangerous, while others say it allows them to protect themselves.
If you have a story of self-defense involving the aid of a gun and would like to tell it to 20/20, please fill out the form below. A "20/20" producer may contact you.
I pulled this from Xavier's Thoughts blog (http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/):
To ensure that the NRA knows how many responses ABC gets, please send them a copy of your story by e-mailing [email protected]. You can also call NRA Public Affairs at (703) 267-1193.
I think I also saw a blurb about this in the Minneapolis Star Tribune in the last day or so. Something about them wanting to prove/disprove the claims about the numbers of successful self-defense gun uses. I know that once word gets out that they will be swamped. I know that if I had any event that qualified (but in many ways I'm glad that I don't) I would contact them.
