Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%. In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%.​

The FBI reported that armed citizens thwarted 4.4% of active shooter incidents, while the CPRC found 34.4%. Two factors explain this discrepancy – one, misclassified shootings; and two, overlooked incidents.

Hmmm…maybe that 2.5 million new gun owners during COVID/post-Floyd Riots isn’t such a bad thing after all.
