Business women learn safety on the job (NOT)

"As for using a gun for protection, Malcolm said he discouraged the practice, as guns were more likely to complicate an attack than to protect the victim. In fact, statistics show that just 25 percent of attackers were armed during an "attack, and one in four trained police officers shot on duty were actually shot with their own gun."

Another victim disarmament championer, I see, who more than likely believes that gun control is, the theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

Further, I would really like to see where he acquired his statistics (PDF LINK @ the F-B-I site).
