Its repeated by many sources but that doesn't mean its correct.

here's your source:

Another researcher, Dr. Gary Kleck, a criminologist at Florida State University, estimated that approximately 2.5 million people used their gun in self-defense or to prevent crime each year, often by merely displaying a weapon.

translation -- he made this number up.
