This video goes into some detail on a number of defensive shoots and should give the gun grabbers something to talk about.
This one goes into a lot of detail on one incident and discusses the importance of situational awareness.

If you are willing to risk your well being and are a skilled mall ninja such as Jet, no, you don't need a gun. Still as goofy as the first time you said it. According to him however, women and elderly, should simply be compliant victims and accept their lot in life as the weakest links.
Bet I can guess which one Jet prefers...
personally, I prefer the one on the right.

that's like saying you don't need a fire brigade to put out ALL fires. But if you are faced with a major fire, your little 20 dollar Home Depot fire extinguisher isn't going to work. And if you are a 120 pound 40 year old housewife facing two Graduates of FCI Marion who want to rape you, not having a gun is probably going to lead to such things as severe bodily trauma, STDs and perhaps pregnancy
in most cases, a gun is the best choice when dealing with a violent attacker
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Director – Steven Spielberg
While chasing Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) after she’s been kidnapped, archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) runs into a large sword-wielding bad guy dressed all in black. Instead of fighting him in what would surely be a losing whip versus sword battle, Indy simply pulls out his revolver, puts the man down with one shot and moves on.
The original script called for a long sword fight but a day earlier Ford got a severe case of food poisoning and didn’t have the energy to film the scene as written. After a discussion with director Steven Spielberg, the scene was changed and became an iconic part of Indiana Jones mythos.
Just FYI...

?????
But it is extremely advisable to have one as proven by 23 surveys. You could also choose to be a statistic.
(chuckle)
Dude, the guy who fought off armed robbers without a gun was washing his car, so what special skills were needed?
Point is - ya' don't need one.
Point is, you are making a universal statement knowing full well it cannot possibly apply to every scenario/situation. That is a profoundly stupid thing to say. A more reasoned, intelligent thing to say would be," You don't need a gun in every situation. Good n some, not in others". Do you agree with that statement? What would your son say?
Point is - ya' don't need one.

Point is Bret, YOU guys are making a blanket statement knowing full well it's not true for every case. That's the point Bret: you don't need a gun.
No that is not correct. The point is some lucky person may not need one. Statistically you have a far better chance if you have one. 23 Surveys agree on that unanimously.
Not always, but it sure helps!
Corrrect. And that scene in Indian Jones cemented the advantage!
Since I assume you mean "every" to mean at least one I'm gonna say statistically speaking putting you life on the line because you cannot read survey data or statistics and have a great fairy godmother might be pushing your luck. Most sensible people have a fire extinguisher for the same reason. Unfortunately there are people who insist on becoming Darwin award winners when it comes to taking unnecessary risk.
The point is, people who don't need a gun have no problem defending themselves.
Here's an unarmed woman doing the same thing.
Yeah it always works out in the movies just the way you want it.
