Study: Concealed Carry Permit Holders Break Laws Far Less Than Cops
Matt Agorist — February 13, 2019

 

Despite massive gun restrictions rolling out across the country, for the past two years, the number of concealed carry permit holders has continued to soar. A study conducted at the end of last year showed that the number of Americans licensed to carry a concealed weapon is now over 17 million—a whopping 273 percent increase since 2007.

If we were to believe the rhetoric that more people carrying guns would lead to more crime, there would be a correlation showing an increase in crime among concealed carry holders. However, a study conducted by the Crime Prevention and Research Center, which examined these numbers, found the opposite.

Of course.
Concealed carriers must uphold a higher standard of conduct than do "the police"...

Sad. CCW holders have no badges to hide behind, no brotherhood to cover up, no city wanting to avoid a lawsuit...Pretty much on our own. Gotta be right every time or lose it all.  It's a responsibility far heavier than the firearm.

Agreed.

I favor Constitutional Carry with no qualifications short of conviction for a violent crime. Any question of self defense automatically negates the State's power to suspend or rescind the Citizen's God Given Right.

THEN, we sit back and watch as Natural Selection winnows the chuckheads out of the population.
