dahmers love zombie: Just sayin':
It's almost as though there is a correlation between the increase in conceal carry permits and the decrease in crime. Who'd a thunk it.

Wait, you don't even need a permit to carry concealed in Vermont? It's less restrictive than Texas?

And maybe an innocent citizen would have been beaten to death.

tricycleracer: My dad's not very inconspicuous about his concealed permit. He wears an NRA cap everywhere and uses his CCW card as his primary form of identification.

I've never understood the allure of concealed carry. Wouldn't open carry be better? Why is having a gun hidden in a waistband holster or under your coat better than having it on your belt like a cop?

Because some of the more delicate people get all "OMG HE'S GOT A GUNNNNNNN!!!!!! CALL THE POLICE!" if people open carry.

You're right, that would suck.

It's too easy for someone to grab it from you.

Open carry is a better deterrent, but puts teh feer in some people, so it can't be allowed. They all scurred up in this piece.

The downside to open carry is that you become the first target.

WizardofToast: As long as no dumbfarks abuse their firearms (tempting to expect because of Florida), I'm cool with this.
I'm more concerned about their "Stand Your Ground" law. It's already proven to be abused.

Eh, it's way more complex than a simple correlation. Could be that if we HADN'T started issuing them willy-nilly, our crime rate would have decreased faster. Everyone's crime rate fell, including states that didn't start giving out permits to almost anyone who asked.

People who ask that question rarely understand the answer?

Only in very limited circumstances. Something like a planned raid? Yeah, you've got a target on your back. Random street violence? You just get avoided.
But it's definitely more of an issue when you're the only guy for blocks with a piece on your hip. If there are plenty of people carrying, you aren't as 'alone'.

Is this also where we point out that Toronto, a city with a similar as Chicago and far more restrictive laws, has had 1/10th the number of gun crimes than said city?
/if the only way to keep your population feeling safe is for everyone to own a firearm, then you have much deeper problems than gun laws

You just answered it in your response to iheartscotch, yet you somehow think it's beyond understanding to someone who is trying to make the same point as you just did.
