MediaBabe (47 posts) Tue Jan-22-08 04:14 PMResponse to Original message 1. That info may not be easy to find. In most states concealed carry permits are issued at the county level. That means when permits are revoked it is at the county level. Unless the state requires this information be forwarded to the state there won't be a single site database to search. The CDC keeps data on gun crimes but doesn't have this category separated. Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top

I believe that indicated that CC permit holders were something like 3 to 5 tims LESS likely to be involve in any criminal activity that the average citizen of the same age.Sorry I can't find the source now.

Some DUmmie will claim: Maybe we should give all criminals a gun since it will make them better citizens.
Well to be fair most of the DUmmies have done a 180 when it comes to guns. They are still scared of them but they fear * even more so now they think that people should be armed.

Someone was getting ready to piss in their cornflakes.
