Little wonder that crimes against person is dropping.

I know that 99.9%+ of muggings go off without a hitch. I also know that drawing down immediately increases your chances of being killed by orders of magnitude.

Oh, and given that crimes against persons are dropping in pretty much all states independent of their CCW laws, I find your logic to be spurious.

[KrazyHorse]

Still though, you're more than welcome to draw against a mugger. Odds are it will get rid of at least one dangerous individual...

I know I'll rest easy, knowing I have your approval.

If we're lucky, they'll kill each other. Two less Texans in the world...

Just how big can a hog get? Is there no size limit?

Just make sure to let me know beforehand so I can get behind something solid and watch the show.

If you do that for me I might even call 911 for you afterward.

Texans rule, it's those crappy New Englander psuedo-Texans that occupy the white house that are the problem.

According to the Space Hog, that answer is "no."

Why has the drop in crime in California been one of the largest when it hasn't changed this law at all? It remains technically possible to get a concealed carry permit but you have to prove you have a damn good reason so few people can actually get one.

Because California is a huge, crime-ridden cesspool and even a minor percentage drop in crime there will result in a huge drop in crime in absolute numbers?

Even Michael Moore would laugh at that one.

I wonder how many of them are in my situation.

My aunt died and left me her Saturday night special. What the hell do I do with it? I don't want to sell it; there's too many cheap guns floating around already. I can't toss it in the trash. Maybe in the ocean?

I keep waiting for one of the days when the police pay ~$100 per gun to get stuff off the streets, but that hasn't happened in a long time.

Why don't you deliver it at your local recycling station - with 44 % households having guns, they should be able to handle such common garbage.
