PDF -Investigating the Link Between Gun Possession and Gun Assault

Quote:
After we adjusted for confounding factors,
individuals who were in possession of a gun
were 4.46 (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.16,
17.04) times more likely to be shot in an assault
than those not in possession. Individuals who
were in possession of a gun were also 4.23
(95% CI=1.19, 15.13) times more likely to be
fatally shot in an assault. In assaults where the
victim had at least some chance to resist,
individuals who were in possession of a gun
were 5.45 (95% CI=1.01, 29.92) times more
likely to be shot.
