4.6 times increase of your and yours being shot when you carry Dick.
All good ... but for the rest of us that don't want to play... can we mark the guys carrying if it gets that far?
Its the concealed crazies that worry me ... How do we address my right not to want to be in proximity of a weapon in public .... Ill gladly move along and take the grandkids with me - thank you....
my last post on the subject .. . aloha
"Kellermann's own data suggests that for all gun homicides of matched cases no more than 34% were murdered by a gun from the victim's home. (GunCite's analysis of Kellermann's data.) (The data, such as it is, is available at http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/cgi/archive.prl?study=6898). 34% is probably on the charitable side since it assumes all family member or intimate homicides were commited by offenders living with the victim which is highly unlikely given that not all intimates (as defined in the Kellermann dataset: spouse, parents, in-laws, siblings, other relatives, and lovers) were likely to have lived with an adult victim." ------------- sobering stats from the gun lobby
