Bull****, you just don't hear about such cases much in the popular
press. It contradicts their liberal political agenda. The fact is, the
crime rates are lowest in places where concealed carry is most
widespread. I. e. the more guns on the street, the less crime there is.
This indicate that citizens carrying guns does, in fact prevent violent
crime. The criminals aren't all completely stupid, they will move their
activities to areas where it is safer for them to operate. For example,
violent crime rates are very high in D.C. but much lower just outside
the city limits. Because of, not in site of the fact that D.C. has the
most draconian gun control laws in the country.

Guns are used millions of times a year to prevent crime as opposed to
thousands of times a year to commit crimes.


Quite the contrary, when the rare occasion strikes that an ordinary citizen
foils a crime, most especially with a firearm, it hits the press big time.
Also criminals, the violent type at least, are by and large pretty stupid
people. Finally if you want to find a very safe environment, look to police
states. In places where the gov't prohibits almost everything overt crime is
nearly non-existent. For verification, you don't need word of mouth or
folklore, look to the news. While you may perceive them as liberal pawns,
the liberals perceive them as very conservative and the truth is that their
product is rather balanced. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it
biased.

In the interest of truth, I am not from Kenya despite someones
determination. I have held positions that force me to deal with armed
individuals. I am usually unarmed and I feel pretty safe about it, even in
Florida. I'm going to go back to aviation related topics now.
