Yep he did. His conclusion is different than yours. At least if you know they are coming and have just a little bit of time to prepare.

The evidence suggests your baseless assertion is wrong, Napo. In his paper Self-Defense with Guns: The Consequences, Lawrence Southwick found the exact opposite. Among other things he found that a woman that uses a gun to defend against rape is 2.5 times less likely to be injured than one that doesn’t resist and 4 times less likely to be injured than one that resists by any other means.
