I don’t think it should have to be used to thwart a crime. If I dust a rabid Rottweiler advancing on my person, that should count.

Of course, I haven’t, nor am I a blogger.

That depends upon the jury.

Ellen: Not all defensive gun uses end up in front of a Jury.

Are you saying Tam’s incident wasn’t a DGU or this one either. Neither ended up in front of a jury.

Gary Kleck had a definition in his study, I think. Gotta see if I can figure out where I found it.

@SPQR: This was the closest definition on the net I could find re: DGU. It’s a snippet from Kleck the King, but rather vague.

I’m on a quest to find a clear, concise DGU definition.

Surprisingly, it’s not easy to find the definition. I’m sure it’s out there, but ’til I hear it, my search for words continues.

Maybe it will be up to we, the gun bloggers, to bring clarity to the matter, defining and refining the much-needed definition of DGU.

The lawyers will continue to milk the laws for obscurity, because they’re afraid they’ll get bored (not paid) if the people are encouraged to think they can know what they’re doing.

That’s why it’s up to we, the go-gunners to define it, rather than allow others to do so.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
