No, you know better than that. You know what I mean.

You know you hate people as well, especially when you are trapped in a metal tube. I want to tell them off for just for the stupid crap they do during air travel.

Is this a lost art? I believe it is. People have computers, and still screw up you order.

Still the way at Waffle House.

The Constitution / Concealed Carry Crime Stats 20...

Report Highlights:

• There are 26 states with permitless concealed carry freedoms
• Washington, D.C., has the highest rate of firearm-related homicides even though it has strict carry laws
• 83% of states with permitless concealed carry have a homicide rate at or below the national average
• 45% of states with no permitless concealed carry laws have homicide rates above the national average
• 3 out of 5 of the safest five states in the U.S. have permitless concealed carry
• 2 out of 5 of the top five most dangerous states in the U.S. have permitless concealed carry, and 3 out of 5 require permits for concealed carry
• 84% of states have a lower violent crime rate in 2022 than they did before permitless concealed carry



In 2024 there are several states with open carry and permitless concealed carry laws.

However, there isn't a positive correlation between permitless carry and criminality.

The following sections explore crime rates and homicides in states with and without permitless concealed carry laws.

States with Concealed Carry vs. Permit Required

State laws vary widely regarding when and how citizens can carry a concealed firearm.

Twenty-six U.S. states have permitless concealed carry, and Mississippi has some limitations regarding which calibers and how citizens can carry without a permit. However, nineteen states and Washington D.C. require permits for concealed carry of firearms.

Does Concealed Carry Reduce Crime

One of the more pressing questions about crime in the U.S. is whether permitless concealed carry reduces violent crimes and homicides. Unfortunately, we don't have the data to support a conclusion on the subject.

However, several states with permitless concealed carry have lower crime rates today than they did before the passage of these new laws. Moreover, you'll find the states with the highest and lowest crime rates have varying concealed carry laws.

By definition, only twenty-six states allow citizens to conceal carry firearms without a permit. Other states implement restrictions on how one can carry a firearm, and others require training and permits for any carry (open or concealed).

Moreover, it's important to note that permitless concealed carry laws do not make it easier to obtain a firearm. Although state laws vary, Federal laws restrict certain individuals from purchasing and possessing firearms nationwide (even if purchased from private sellers).



There isn't a strong correlation between concealed carry rights and crime.

Concealed Carry Reduces Crime Stats

Due to many states converting to permitless concealed carry after January 2021, and delayed reporting from the FBI on violent crime rates, we are still discovering the effectiveness of permitless concealed carry on crime.

However, we can explore crime trends in states that had permitless carry prior to January 2021.

83.3% of states that passed permitless concealed carry had a violent crime rate lower than before the bill's passage. 84% of all states that have adopted concealed permitless carry laws have a lower violent crime rate in 2022 than they did the year before adopting the laws.

So far, no one in my immediate family deserves shit! My wife doesn't want them and her kids can't appreciate their actual worth, so the search continues. :unsure:

Gosh, that's a pickle. Hopefully you have a Gran Turino moment like Clint Eastwood.

Quote from: Solar on April 09, 2024, 05:29:28 AMPlease, consolidate these posts into one thread so people will have an easier task of accessing the information.
Not only that, but posting a new thread every time pushes good threads off the page.
