Dear John: We have important new research on active shooting cases. This study is the first to systematically compare how uniformed police and civilians with concealed handgun permits perform in stopping these attacks. Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. Officers who intervened during the attacks were far more likely to be killed or injured than those who apprehended the attackers later. Please download and look at this research. I think that you will find this well worth your time. I have done some television (One American News) and some radio shows on this research. The radio shows include Los Angeles' AM 870, Las Vegas' giant KXNT-AM, Salt Lake City KNRS's, and Houston's KTRH. If you listen to conservative radio shows or podcasts over the last year, you heard many ads for the non-lethal alternative weapons from Byrna. Their products are described as able to incapacitate criminals for 40 minutes and are a real substitute for lethal weapons. My piece at The Washington Times talks about the limits of these weapons and why police who carry pepper spray also have a gun for backup. Also, I point out that the vast majority of defensive gun uses are non-lethal because they involve brandishing. Another piece at Townhall makes the case for national reciprocity. One of the neat things is being friends with Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) is during hearings I can text comments to him and see him say those very same comments moments later in the House Judiciary Committee hearing. For example, during a hearing last week, Thomas referenced our research on school shootings. I also collaborated with Thomas on a bill to get data on the discriminatory errors in the NICS background check system. The bill passed out of the House Judiciary Committee unanimously and is going to the House floor. Thomas' discussion on the bill is well worth listening to. Among other recent news, German courts decided that police can legally cancel firearm permits and seize firearms from people who support the conservative AfD party, which is referred to as "far-right" in Germany, but that means its supporters are concerned about the massive immigration into the country. While concealed handgun permits in Poland are still tiny, they have been increasing markedly over the last few years. After almost two years, the Nashville police have finally released a report on the Covenant school shooter. But, it is notable for what it doesn't mention about the murderer's mental illness. We have continued collecting examples on biases in television police shows, but we added a new twist: these shows keep showing female officers running as fast or faster than male officers or criminals. I have moved to Salt Lake City. Our new address is Crime Prevention Research Center, 358 S 700 E, Ste B, B409, Salt Lake City, UT 84102. We have updated our list of defensive gun uses by people legally carrying concealed handguns for December 2024. If you haven’t already seen it, please watch our new video with John Stossel, which covers our new research showing errors in the FBI’s active shooting reports. We need help getting our research out. It doesn't do us any good to do all this work if people don't see it. If you have friends you think might find our emails interesting, please encourage them to sign up by sending them the link here. Thank you very much. We need your support to continue doing the work that we do. Our end of the year donations are I don't think that there is any organization with as small of a budget that regularly produces as much as we do. Thank you very much. .
