Ongoing Success of Concealed Carry

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-18 17:57

Almost eight years ago a republican governor in Michigan named John Engler (R) passed a law securing for Michigan citizens the right to carry concealed firearms on their person for defensive purposes and to better secure their right to defend themselves. 

Eight years later and looking back, what was the effect of this? The following article examines the situation in hindsight:

"Researchers believe that if holdout states had adopted concealed-carry, it’s possible that they could have avoided annually as many as 1,570 murders, more than 4,000 rapes and some 60,000 aggravated assaults. The statisticians point out that when Right-to-Carry laws have been put in place, individual counties have experienced an 8.5 per-cent drop in murder rates, a 5 percent reduction in rapes as well as a 7 percent decline in aggravated assaults."

But that's the point.  They're keeping their essentially crime-free town to themselves, since they're keeping your stupid, stealing ass OUT OF IT.  And if you do decide to move in an start some shit?  Well, you'll get shot.  End of fucking story.

Like I said:  Enjoy your overrun Liberal big-city garbage crime mess.  I hope your take-home pay is worth all the robberies and burglaries and layoffs and taxes you'll have to endure.  Robberies, burglaries, layoffs, taxes, insurance and all the rest of it is just too fucking expensive.  Why do you think people are enduring murderous commutes?  They're trying to secure high city wages without suffering all the crime and disease and low culture of the same cityscape.
