I need help finding examples

where civilians, legally carrying a firearm in public, have accidentally shot one or more bystanders while legally defending themselves against a violent attack.

There are several examples by law enforcement, but I have been unsuccessful finding examples of civilians.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

expect too many replies because there aren't very many of those instances at all...If there were the anti gun nuts here would whip that out in every debate on here.

as gospel with a straight face?

You really consider the brady org. as factual, as a credible source?

it's been debunked here many times. But you just keep on citing that garbage, it only helps the pro gun rights movement.
Thank you.

I looked and looked! Couldn't find anything! That's why I told the original gun-relgionist to PROVE IT.

He was asking specifically about cases in which a CCWer shoots an innocent bystander, like the NYPD cops did. The Brady page doesn't go into that question.

I see you're up to 16 hidden posts in the last 90 days.

Are you trying to beat Iver glas's record of 19 before getting the pizza?

It was discussed in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=45338

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/18661869/chl

Armed robber started to lock customers inside store, CHL holder shoots but hits and kills a clerk.

You could look at the VPC's "Concealed Carry Killers'" page: http://www.vpc.org/fact_sht/ccwprivatecitizens.pdf

(Not surprising...)

From a quick glance, there is only one report (page 22) that might be relevant but the reporting is too poor to be useful.

about the antis claim of civilians shooting bystanders while defending themselves against violent attack. Yet only one (1) anecdotal incident was the response. I will post another thread and expand the question.
