Breitbart: Concealed carry permits rose 215 percent between 2007 and 2015, and the murder rate dropped 14 percent during that same time period.
In other words, more guns being carried for self-defense correlated with fewer murders.
On May 22, Breitbart News reported that the demand for concealed carry permits witnessed its greatest surge ever between May 2016 and May 2017. Fox News referenced Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) data showing there were 14.5 million permit holders in May 2016 and approximately 15.7 million in May 2017.
Now the NRA is tweeting data which shows that the bigger picture is not just the one-year surge but a 215 percent jump in concealed carry permits between 2007 and 2015. more here
Who knew
Just think if you could take Chicago murder rate out of the equation the murder rate would be much lower. Too bad Chicagoans have difficulty getting CC licenses.
I got mine. Carry on.
An armed society is a polite society. A concept Socialist will never grasp.
I have an extremely liberal friend who imagines that more people carrying guns around would make things more dangerous; therefore the facts are irrelevant and you’re all wrong.
Or something.
Seriously, that’s her argument.
I hope to live long enough to see constitutional carry nation wide. Having to buy a permission slip is another example of having to buy our rights back from the gov. Fleecing the masses. A good gig if you can get plugged into it. As for me, I am tired of it. I long for freedom.
