John Correia dives into the statistics of the number of people that own firearms and the number of defensive gun uses to calculate your odds of having to use a gun for self defense in any given year and over your lifetime. In any given year, your odds to need to use a firearm in self defense (not necessary shoot anyone but, as in his case, displaying the weapon to drive off a burglar) is approximately 1.6% per year and about 60% over your lifetime.
He also delves into the odds of someone who lives in a household with firearms committing suicide with a firearm and it is 0.02% per year. In other words, your needing a firearm to protect yourself or your family is 50 times higher than the risk of someone using it for suicide.
