you all seem to insinuate that having a gun with you makes you safer when all statics show just the opposite. The rule of thumb that seems to be the most on target is . The more guns in a ANY certain area equals more dead and injured.
The fact that now people can conceal the fact that are carrying a firearm is different than it was before...now a few more people do but it has always been done. The claim that it is a deterrent to crime seems doubtful especially in circumstances like this one.
So if the rule of thumb holds there are a few more guns in more places that should equal a few more dead people but it is still to early to tell.
