Chances are good that the encounter doesn't get recorded in any crime statistics and may not be reported at all. IMO it's a bias of the pro-restriction side. (Since "guns are designed to kill", if you didn't at least try to kill, you didn't "use" your gun.) Then again, if you took a shot and didn't at least wound, some would argue that you're not a good enough shot to be allowed to carry.
If you control the dictionary, you control the truth for some folks.
