Murder Rates vs Concealed Carry Permits

Murder Rates vs Concealed Carry Permits

A 2-year old report, but I don't think this surprises any of us here...
Murder Rates vs Concealed Carry.jpg
The full study was published by the Crime Prevention Research Center (click here for link to the full article) which was founded by and is lead by John Lott -- one of the "good guys" and most knowledgeable researchers on our team.

In the article he claims that a "One percentage point increase in the number of CCW holders yields a 1.4 percent drop in the murder rate for that area."

Me, I'll take a 40% positive return any day. :wink:

Tight groups.

Most violent criminals are actually suffering from a medical condition, and in the interest of compassion and inclusiveness, I think it is important for us to consider treating their condition medically, instead of just labeling them as 'criminals'.

The medical condition is actually a mineral deficiency, and when a violent sociopath is in the midst of violent activity, they can usually be effectively rehabilitated by rapid administration of a mineral supplement.

Popular and effective mineral supplements include mixtures of copper, zinc, antimony, tin, and lead, typically administered at a dose of 150 to 350 grains, at a rate of 800 to 1600 feet per second.
