Because if it was said by a LEO, it must be true. :wacko:
We must remember that even the death penalty has been found to not deter murderers.I wonder if I can get 2 or 3 more posts here with this question.
OC'ers say that the sight of them carrying openly will cause a criminal to go down the street and find another person upon which to commit their crime or will wait till the offending weapon has left the scene. CC'ers say that carrying concealed removes the possibility of the thug grabbing their gun or targeting them. If both are true then it stands to reason that OC does not prevent crime, only delays it. CC may cause the thug to re-think their plan to commit the crime because they do not KNOW if someone is carrying. Do they want to take that chance. The criminal may decide its not worth the risk and choose not to commit the crime.

Yeah, I kn ow...its a stretch.
For the record, I CC. Florida does not allow OC, but if they did, I would probably still CC. I prefer not to let people know I'm armed anyway. I have no issue with OC'ers though. If its their legal right to do so, then go for it. Personal choice.
I don't care whether you CC or OC as long as you carry.
How so? There has never been a case where someone who has been executed has committed a murder.
It sure does! Well at least for that criminal which was convicted and the death penalty carried out!:sarcastic: This is in reference to the death penalty not deterring murderers.
Numerous interviews with convicted killers through the years finds that very few were concerned about the death penalty when committing their crimes. The data can be found all over the web regarding the effectiveness of the death penalty.How so? There has never been a case where someone who has been executed has committed a murder.
Contrary to everything we teach. The best advice I can give you is to stay out until you can't. Don't intervene in a situation where you don't know the entire background of the parties and the situation in front of you. This advice is directly from Mas Ayoob.The biggest thing for me is, I will back you up if needed, hoping you will do the same.
That's for sure. I hear Texas has an express lane for the worst of them.*Whispers in BC1's ear.... The dead ones cant give interviews, or kill again for that matter....*
