Concealed Carry Reduces Crime!

In Illinois, which was, until recently, the “last holdout” in the battle to increase the “concealed carry” numbers, finally passed a “shall issue” law to replace the “no issue” laws then in force. And crime predictably went down. Even in Chicago, where “gun crime” continues unabated (though somewhat reduced), in spite of their many tight anti-gun laws. In fact, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel disagrees, saying “shall issue” laws will INCREASE crime. This in spite of the sure numbers of crime reduction since the “shall issue” law was passed. He maintains that “gun control is still needed,” in spite of the sure fact that their anti-gun laws have done NOTHING to reduce crime, instead INCREASING it, by DISARMING the law-abiding, making them “easy targets” for those who IGNORE their stupid laws. A recent “study” showed that “criminals don’t obey laws (they needed a STUDY to figure that out?). Which didn’t make a dent in their faulty thinking. They kept on making their silly, stupid laws, criminals ignored them, law abiding people obeyed them, and were victimized by the criminals, who don’t. (NRA-ILA)
