As tempting as it is to say that you should do or say whatever it takes to silence an anti, it really matters not what side of the debate you're on; if you don't have any solid facts to back up what you're saying, don't say it. Do research on your own time so that you'll have facts to back up what you're saying in case this comes up again. Making statements not backed up with facts makes you no better than the most rabid antis. Do us a favor and don't hurt our side like this.

I think you pulled a liberal stunt and you can get any kind of study to back up any kind of figures you want. As for CCW holders outnumbering LEO I don't know. I know that if you add up all LEO in an area it will shock you hao many there are. Next is I would assume (not facts to back it up) that at least 95% of all LEO carry a gun. I expect that less than 10% of all CCW holders carry a gun on them at all times. Even if you adjust those figures, take into account the number of hours each carries stc. I think that you will find that the number of hours that guns are carried by LEO greatly outnumber those carried by CCW holders.
Now add into that the number of people that carry guns without a CCW such as OC folks and hunters, combine into all of that the number of AD, ND and willful shootings and I have no idea what you would come up with because you would have to add into it the number of times a LEO has to use his gun.
It was a nice argument that you made and I am sure that you can find facts to back it up but in the end I don't think it actually means anything.

Lets not forget, true hard core libs don't let the truth get in the way of their agenda. Another fact with hard core libs is conservatives do not have first amendment rights if you disagree with them.:sarcastic:
