You would be surprised! Many are under the impression that a gun in the hand of an honest citizen will cause that person to morph into a violent felon. It may not be a rational thought, but it's one with which we have to contend.HGWC wrote:
To me, this data doesn't say anything really relevant. We have laws on the books that limit CHLs only to citizens with a long history of abiding by the law. Why would anyone be surprised that law abiding citizens abide by the law?
Allison, however, has gathered measurable data to back up the claim we've had for years, and her research strikes down the irrational claims that the antis have used. When an emotional appeal tries to tango with valid information, the valid information will win every time. She should be commended for her work in this area.
Her work will be a tremendous asset during the 2009 legislative session.
