WOW...Statistics....

[DILLIGAF]

Check out these statistics that two University of Chicago professors calculated. I knew that the, "stats" were out of this world.......but after Proff. John Lott (Thanks Proff)
emailed me their actual findings.....all I can say is WOW!!!!

"Allowing citizens to carry concealed firearms deters violent crimes and it appears to produce no increase in accidental deaths. If those states which did not have right to carry concealed gun provisions had adopted them in 1992, approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes and over 60,000 aggravated assaults would have been avoided yearly." –Professor John R. Lott, Jr. and David B. Mustard, University of Chicago.

If you're inclined to this sort of thing, Lott has several books and articles that present this type of information.

Nightmare45.....Yes actually this very study that we are speaking of in this post, was expected to go the opposite way by the, "agency" (that to this day remains anonymous) that hired Proff. Lott and his associates to conduct. Once the study was complete the, "agency" tried to bury the findings, but Proff. Lott took them public on a national level.

And I commend him for going public even though he didn't have to. This kind of information is extremely important to know.
