What's this Chicago, CCW lowers crime?

[SMWS6TA]

Most of us CCW holders know this but it takes some time for the dim witted gun grabbers to accept it (and most still refuse to) that CCW helps lower crime. Chicago has had a 20% reduction in crime since CCW permits have been issue. All of this without their police department changing a damn thing in their tactics to fight crime.

Robberies are down 20 percent this year, according to Chicago Police Department statistics. Burglaries are also down 20 percent, while motor vehicle thefts are down 26 percent.


Chicago Police Department Superintendent Garry McCarthy attributed the decrease to “intelligent policing strategies” and said cops confiscated more than 1,300 illegal guns in the first quarter of the year.


But Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said it’s clear to him what’s driving the decrease — and it’s not the police. He said the department “hasn’t changed a single tactic.”

Also learn something surprising, in that Tx is not the highest holder of CCW permit holders. How you ask, beats me, like pick up trucks, it's part of Texans culture to own several firearms. Surprisingly it's FL and not by a little, they crush Tx.

Florida has the most concealed carry permits, at nearly 1.3 million, according to the Times. Texas is second, with more than 708,000. Hawaii has the least, at just 183.


If Pearson’s projection of 300,000 concealed carry permits proves correct, Illinois would be comparable to Virginia, which has 363,274 permits, and Alabama, which has 379,917 permits.

Florida is legit when it comes to gun laws...when you drive into the state they have billboards at the state lines informing visitors that FL residents can use lethal force.
