You might be surprised if you took an objective look at crime statistics. Almost without fail, when the guns are made illegal (D.C., NYC, etc.) crime goes up. When Concealed carry is enacted, crime goes down. I'm not making this up. I respect your opinion, but the statistics show that less carry means more crime.

* Washington D.C. enacted a virtual ban on handguns in 1976. Between 1976 and 1991, Washington D.C.'s homicide rate rose 200%, while the U.S. rate rose 12%.

That's just one of many stats. I could find dozens to back up my point; both here and abroad.

I'm glad we still have a choice.
