even though I KNEW that he could beat the tar of out of 99% of all other human beings. The exception, of course, would be Ethel Merman. :o)

Officers that had CCW permits were counted as officers ;-)

LOVE your poster!

Ouch. Glad you are OK.

I quite agree, and I gather that states do not have uniform reporting. I’m impressed you were able to get even suicide filtered data. The gun controllers do not want to make that distinction.

Congratulations and a big hearty thank you for the report. What do you think about sending it on to John Lott and asking for his signature beside yours for the data accuracy.

You might just push some other folks into releasing their figures with this report. Good move!

The data is all publicly available except the resident numbers for Florida permit.

I believe that anyone can obtain that data by asking. That is what I did.

All of the data is available by links in the article.

I would love to have John Lott comment on it.

Little bastard shot you in the ass?

2 of Holder’s people robbed and shot me, while my fiancée and I were leaving a restaurant in W. Palm Bch, after attending premier opening of People Magazine, in the parking lot. .32cal entered the left hip, 2” below belt line. Missed all bones, organs, veins & arteries and nerves; stopped just short of the spine. Didn’t even bleed; just a half-grapefruit-sized red lump with a black dot in the center. South Miami Hosp Trauma Ctr docs left it in, as it would have been more traumatic to take it out. Hasn’t bothreed me all these years. Wish I had it out to wear on end on chain around my neck. Heh...

I got out of South Miami Hosp, went to Tamiami Gun Shop next day, and bought 6” Colt Trooper MKIII .357Magnum; now carry a 5” Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP w/ extra mags. I won’t be a victim twice.
