The author does not get the concept that successful defensive firearm uses almost never generate any kind of report because the weapon was never fired, just shown.

...because the weapon was never fired, just shown.

Or because the potential perp fears that it is there, even if he doesn't see it.

In Minnesota carry permit holders are trained to carry a cell phone, call the cops immediately, and insist on filing a report, because even if the gun was never fired, you can be pretty sure that the other party is already on a phone to the cops trying to tell his version of the story.

That said, I know that the author of this piece is intentionally lying, because I know of two defensive gun uses that have been reported, investigated, and ruled to be legal self-defense by the investigating authorities.

But...how do you know when Wes Skoglund is lying? It's easy. His lips are moving.
