I now know where the 2.5M figure came from and how absurd it is.

Yup. I've never been a fan of those particular studies. Then again, the ones at the other end are equally absurd for similar methodological failures. In my own opinion the truth lies somewhere between the two extremes. I find the 600,000-800,000 claims the best supported.
You'll notice I don't ever use Lott or Kleck with regards to the actual number of defensive gun uses. I use their other works, such as their debunking of Kellerman and their primary research into other factors.
