A study issued by the Crime Research Prevention Center, the think tank started by one of my 2A heroes, John Lott.

News to me. CHLers in 2013 are 708K or 249K more in a single year, that is a 50% jump in a single year!!

Here's a link to the actual report: http://crimepreventionresearchcenter.or ... States.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Some interesting stats:

The Florida numbers can easily be compared to data on firearms violations by police officers during the three years from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007.
During that time period, the annual rate of such violations by police was at least 0.007 percent. That is higher than the rate for permit holders in Florida.
The police data on total annual offenses also provide a direct comparison for Florida and Texas. The rate of all crimes committed by police is 0.124 percent – a number about 6 times higher than the rate for in Texas and about 10 times higher than for Florida.

That's gonna get a few panties in a wad. Imagine a liberal's head exploding when you tell him that CHL holders in Texas are 6 times LESS likely to commit a crime than the police!

I'm not a big fan of using statistics as political argument (too much selective data in most stats), but I'm definitely gonna use that one...
