One of the very very few times a gun was used properly by a civilian.

Crime statistics out of the USA indicate that firearms are used by people many hundreds of thousands of times a year to stop crimes from happening or to detain criminals. Most often without a shot being fired.

As was said above, it's just that the media doesn't bother to report it.

Crime statistics out of Canada indicate that sweet-talking and cajoling are used by people millions of times a year to stop crimes from happening and/or to convince criminals to lay down their guns and give themselves up. A shot is never fired.
