  15. Protection

  16. Civilians use guns to protect themselves 1,000,000 times a year.

  17. and many feel the need to defend themselves against criminals.

    In fact...

    armed victim, and

  19. 40% of felons decided not ot commit a crime because

    they knew the victim was carrying a gun.

  20. Target Shooting

  21. Approximately 34 million americans participate in shooting sports. For example:

  22. Target practicing may run in the family.

  23. Teens may want to gain a college scholarship.

  24. But, most people say its a form of relaxation.

  25. Hunting
