Cleveland, OH - Police are investigating the first murder of 2009.
The deadly shooting happened around 12:30AM near the intersection of East 71st Street & Alice Avenue outside Malibu Joe's.
The victim is a 26-year-old man - identification is pending family notification.
The coroner says he was shot in the head.
No arrests at this time.
Looks like the 1st one was in NJ or maybe Ohio...but the time zone thing comes into play. If you google "1st homicide of 2009" you will see there were several in the early morning hours all over the USA.
Cleveland Ohio = 12:30 AM
Newark, NJ = 3:00 AM
Louiville, KY = 7:00 AM
Chicago, IL = 2:10 AM

"Gun control" has never been shown to reduce crime or violence. Crime and violence does tend to go down when more law abiding citizens are carrying concealed, confrontational crime in particular.
You're right; however, CCW by itself doesn't either. Look at the dramatic decrease in the murder and crime rate in NYC over the past decade and a half (with its draconian gun control measures) and look at the high rates of crime in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, all of which are located in shall issue states.
