    Do we know whether criminals do/don’t wear gloves when loading?

    What are the stats on casing fingerprints tying someone to a crime? Are they really that useful or are they a secondary piece of evidence (I genuinely don’t know)?

    Also, “criminals” is a large bucket. Are we talking about the average gang member out shooting his rivals probably with a stolen gun that may have been loaded by someone else, then ditched afterwards, or sold? (IIRC, gang shootings comprise something like 85%+ of all shootings).

    Plus fingerprints don’t lead you to a suspect, unless they’ve committed a crime before.
