53. let's provide some context here
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 11:26 AM by melm00se
in 2006 there were:

30,034 violence related firearm deaths
642 unintentional firearm deaths
360 Legal Intervention Firearm Deaths (shot by law enforcement)
220 Undetermined Intent Firearm Deaths

so extrapolating that out over a 2 year period (to match up with the study in the OP) you have

60,068 violence related firearm deaths
1284 unintentional firearm deaths
720 Legal Intervention Firearm Deaths (shot by law enforcement)
440 Undetermined Intent Firearm Deaths

and 51 done by concealed carry permit holders.
