The short answer is that you don't know. However, there are thousands of incidents where normal citizens were able to successfully deploy concealed firearms to protect themself or others.
Sorry, I agree with you but this part was funny. It's more likely to use a gun if you actually have it, than if you don't have one.
Are you saying that most incidents, both in numbers and proportion, are due to illegal guns and/or home protection, as opposed to legal concealed carry?
