Sigh - It is Bravo Sierra time again, at another Kalifornia ‘institute of the academented’.

Let’s look at this whopper: “gun-related behaviors that carry a risk of violence, which also included having a loaded, unlocked firearm in the home and driving or riding in a vehicle with a loaded firearm.”

According to the sentence, the “study” assumed that driving in a vehicle with a loaded firearm is carries a significant “risk of violence”. The Academented seem unaware that an unloaded gun is an expensive and unwieldy ‘blunt force weapon’, better known as a ‘club’.

Clubs are notably useless in a vehicle when attacked by a criminal with a gun who is outside the victim’s car.

Given the prevalence of armed, two legged predators, a case can be made that leaving home without a loaded gun is an invitation to Murphy. And, never forget Murphy knows what you did with his youngest daughter that night!

“It is the right and duty of the citizen to be at all times armed...”. Good enough for the Founders is good enough for present day Americans.

Obviously, the small subset of gun owners that are criminals had been over sampled and are skewing the results.

The UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program is an organized research program that addresses the causes, nature and prevention of violence. Its mission is to conduct research to further America’s efforts to understand and prevent violence.

Hey UC Davis!, I have a great idea for your next project! - How much violence & crime is committed by illegal aliens! follow up - how much & crime could be prevented with systematic deportations and a protected border.

I'll even volunteer to write out the grant applications

The UC Davis studyI could get a UC Davis study to prove the moon is made of green cheese, just endow a cheese flavored with marijuana ag wing.

[jboot]

I should be a permananent fixture at the local 12-step program, then.

Wierd that I almost never drink.

[MacMattico]

The author calls carrying concealed a “risky behavior”?

The places my brother has to go it would be “risky behavior” to be unarmed!

[Malone LaVeigh]

Have these clowns been peeking into my house again?!

[trisham]

What next? Good grief.

[BCR #226]

Total BS. I carry daily. I don’t drink.

however, I conducted a study that shows all liberals are mentally deficient and cannot be trusted with reality.

[gundog]

Well, this certainly explains why Coos County, Oregon leads the nation in gun related homocides.

[mikeus_maximus]

...and there’s a high correlation between liberalism and illicit drug use. Let’s ban liberals.

[Popman]

Yeah’ I always carry conceal my weapon next to my flask of Black Jack on my hip / S

[mo]

that’s funny...most RATIONAL people would clearly conclude NOT carrying is probably riskier..but who knew? Then again I’m not a perfesser....

[wku man]

I think we've reached a point where we're not going to sway any more anti-gunners with our logic, common sense and Constitutional rightness on the the RKBA debate. I've grown tired trying to convince wrong-headed Leftists that they're wrong, and that I have every right to keep whatever arms I so choose and bear those arms wherever I so desire.

So from now on, I simply say "molon labe". Come get 'em, bitches. If you want mine, you'd damned sure better bring yours...and pack a lunch, too.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Gumption]

“about 25 percent of gunshot-wound victims treated at UC Davis Medical Center tested positive for alcohol.”

So you are much more likely to be shot if you’re sober. Good to know.(snicker)

[MeganC]

Garen Wintemute is an anti-gun activist of the first order and anything he has to say needs to be vetted thoroughly. If that pony-tailed freak said that water was wet I’d be sure to verify the fact.

[Dead Corpse]

Is this like the study that once proved that marijuana use made White women want to have sex with Black Jazz musicians?

[Still Thinking]

Gun ownership, carrying a gun linked to heavy alcohol use

The way gun owners and dealers get treated by the statist JBT's, can you blame them? Rein in the ATF, and the problem would be solved. Refreshing honesty from a lying liberal university, as much as admitting the policies are the cause of the problem.

[Allegra]

Wow, what a complete load of cr@p ping.

[Nachoman]

This study must be true. Shortly after I gave up alcohol, I lost all my guns in the lake.
