Lowering crime rates

One permit at a time...

Six years after new rules made it much easier to get a license to carry concealed weapons, the number of Michiganders legally packing heat has increased more than six-fold.

Bet that scares the shit out of the anti gun folks!
The incidence of violent crime in Michigan in the six years since the law went into effect has been, on average, below the rate of the previous six years. The overall incidence of death from firearms, including suicide and accidents, also has declined.

Imagine that... more scary guns in the hands of law abiding citizens, and suddenly the criminals start thinking twice about committing crimes. I think it is called survival instinct or something like that...
