Actual defensive means shots fired. Out of self-defense uses, death is in the hundreds. Ten times that is the number wounded. No shots fired are all over the map and are often not reported to the police and certainly not in the media.

BTW, all polls are based on extrapolation, the larger the sample size the smaller margin of error. Kleck polled 5000 people, five times the number of most poll samples.
