I just pulled a stunt generally reserved for most antigun liberals. I made a "factual" statement based on undocumented assumptions and personal opinion.
I explained to someone who tends to be somewhat anti-gun that there are more accidental discharges/shootings caused and more crimes commited by police officers, than CCW holders. I even stated that there are more CCW holders than active duty police officers so you would think the CCW holders would have more problems. The gist of the discussion was that there is no reason to assume a police officer is any more responsible or trustworthy in carrying a concealed weapon than any CCW holder.
The big question is, are there any studies backing that statement up or did I pull a typical liberal stunt?
"Figures don't lie but liers figure..."
