Looks like another person added to the liberal hate list, this is all common sense to those that don't look out there ass all the time, of course if the criminals don't know who is armed they wont be so quick to attack and the majority that have a carry Permit will never pull there gun for any other reason than to shoot targets but just the fact that the criminals don't know who is easy pickings will slow them down. Also lets not forget the FACT that the area's that have the most legally owned guns have the least crime or the Fact that the area's with the most gun laws have the most crime.




Detroit— If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday.Urban police chiefs are typically in favor of gun control or reluctant to discuss the issue, but Craig on Thursday was candid about how he’s changed his mind.
“When we look at the good community members who have concealed weapons permits, the likelihood they’ll shoot is based on a lack of confidence in this Police Department,” Craig said at a press conference at police headquarters, adding that he thinks more Detroit citizens feel safer, thanks in part to a 7 percent drop in violent crime in 2013.
Craig said he started believing that legal gun owners can deter crime when he became police chief in Portland, Maine, in 2009.
