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."

I thought LETS LIVE WITH NATUREE, FORGET CITIES AND STUFF, LETS LIVE IN WOODS was hippie bullshit, but apparently retarded neocons too like it because they're too scared to go outside in a city. Understandable, of course - if I was that fat and weak too, I'd like to live in a place where no one could see me and no one could touch me.
