Funny how crime reports in this country show the areas with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crime rates.
I guess they need more guns.

If you have a concealed weapons permit, but you can't go into some places like banks, sporting events or anywhere alcohol is served (but it all depends on the permit you get).

For themost part, yes. 38 states allow concealed carry, 37 of which require a license.
Some states, like Arizona, allow open carry with no license. I don't generally carry one anywhere, but I have plenty of firepower on tap in my home.
About 2 years ago some gangsters kicked in my neighbors door at 3am, and killed the man of the house, beat and raped his wife into a coma, and did it all in front of the kids. Bet he wished for a gun to even those odds a bit.

I remember seeing Red Ken quoted saying that he feels safer in the streets of New York than London in the past year or two.

In Vermont for example, no permit is needed for open or concealed carry. In some states like New Hampshire, no permit is needed unless the weapon is concealed, then with a permit concealed carry is fine. There are very few states in the US where concealed carry is not permitted with the proper paper work.
And even in those, if you are rich enough or famous enough, you'll generally get a permit.
It's well documented where the states that allow concealed carry, have the lower crime rates. Countless interviews with muggers and robbers have shown they fear armed citizens more than law enforcement.

The main idea behind concealed-carry is that a mugger has no idea who is armed and who isn't. This is enough to dissuade many who would otherwise be tempted to strongarm the obviously weak.
Works with houses, too. The reason for the UK's higher rate of live burglaries (break ins occurring when the residents are home) is that they can reasonably assume that there are no lethal threats in the home. If even one in ten homes had an armed owner, then it would be a much riskier prospect.

London has alot more people than detroit and the entire country also has far less murders by fire arms each year. You americans are just to damn afraid of each other, it's sad.

False cause and effect. How do you know that places with tougher gun laws didn't pass them in reaction to the amount of gun violence in the area?

I don't see what that report has to do with guns. England is not the US (yet).
--------------------
The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame".
In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience.
And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him.
"Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

I don't know that. I wouldn't be surprised if some did, such as D.C. Their crime rate soared. They have the strictest gun laws in the nation and far and away the highest murder rate.
What I do know is that in states like Florida (and others), the permit system was a "may" issue. In other words it was up to the discretion of the issuing agency to decide if you were going to get a permit or not. As a result only the connected had permits. Then Florida passed a "must" issue law. If you had no criminal or mental health history, the issuing agency had to give you the permit. The crime rate in Florida took a nose-dive. This has been seen in several states.
Now look at Vermont. The most liberal carry laws, and the lowest murder rate.
If it makes you happy to call that false cause and effect, you go right on doing so.
Thanks, but I'll stick with my guns and the statistics.

Originally? Not a thing. The I guess they need more guns was a light-hearted poke at the anti-gunners.
It just kind of headed off in that direction.
However, it's not hard to find articles showing the gun crime rate in England took a sharp turn upwards since the bans.

LOL. I guess guns themselves arn't bad, they can be very useful for hunting and such, it's the people and the society that make them bad.

Mace is good for what it is. It is no substitute for a firearm. That's why police carry both, because each is appropriate in certain situations.

Most don't carry guns to "feel" powerful.
Just as most don't make false trade rates.
