The three days you are least likely to get shot in the US

Friday, 2 March 2018

quote [ (Reuters Health) - Gunshot-related deaths and injuries temporarily show a dramatic decline when the National Rifle Association is holding its annual convention, according to a new analysis online February 28 in The New England Journal of Medicine. ]

From a 'not getting shot' perspective, the safest three days of the year are when the NRA holds their national convention. Also, interesting that there is no change in gun related crimes, further debunking the 'Good guy with a gun' nonsense.

Orignally I saw this as a Bloomberg article, but since they're not 'Real News' I tracked down the Reuters version instead.
