5. Your numbers are way off.

The FBI collects those statistics and they are available online at the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting site: http://www.ucrdatatool.gov/

There are about 200 justifiable homicides by civilians per year. In addition there are about an equal number of excusable homicides. That alone puts the total at 400 dead criminals.

About 80% of pistol shooting victims survive. So in addition to the 400 bodies you have about 1,600 wounded criminals.

Total is about 2,000 killed or wounded criminals.

And there is a vast unknown number of criminals who ran away when they discovered that their intended victim was armed. So we are waaay past you 500 mark.

The FBI reports about six million violent and property crimes per year. Since there are eight million people licensed to carry and about half the population has ready access to a gun it stands to reason the a large percentage of those six million felons get surprised by the victim's gun.
