lucidium said: I have a question. When someone shoots someone in self defense, is that classed as a criminal shooting? as in would it count towards the number of "shootings", if not then would it not be fairly reasonable to assume that the number of murders/shootings dropped because the number of claims of self defense rose? |
Only if the shooting is backed up as self defense.
Which is actually a VERY hard case to win most of the time.
