Ska, I know you're dying for me to weigh in on this, but I've already stated that I'm not going to argue about the science. All I'm concerned with is which makes me safer.
it makes you safer to live somewhere with concealed carry being legal. unfortunately many businesses and schools request that you don't carry in their buildings....which kinda defeats the purpose...because instead of the gun being on your person, it's in your car.
this is not to say that everyone should own a gun....but the people who choose to and are legally able to should be allowed to. unfortunately, it's up to businesses and schools to change their minds because it's not the government's job to tell them either way on the issue.
it's not like criminals care either way if a gun should be allowed in somewhere or not...just the law abiding citizens who are restricted from protecting themselves.
