In every single state that legalizes concealed-carried guns, crime goes down as a direct result, usually by double digits. It never fails. As a general rule, the more lax gun laws are, the lower crime gets. That's just the reality of it.
Evidence suggests that the use of guns in self defense saves100,000 American lives annually. That huge benefit outweighs any cost firearm freedom may have.
A well armed populace is a great thing. History and current events both show this clearly. However, the only political party today 100% pro-gun rights is the Libertarian Party. Join, and help preserve our nation!
