Many police chiefs and sheriffs have changed their mind, once they have seen the results of shall issue concealed carry.

I wonder if any of them question the credibility of those who gave them the wrong information and made the wrong predictions.

Detroit leads the nation in justifiable Homicides which means people are shooting back at a higher rate than anywhere else in the nation.

So far I've mostly been impressed with the new police chief. He cut the Mayor's security detail from 20 officers to 6. He also ordered cops to stop reporting to break ins by the dozen when 2 to 4 officers is sufficient.

It was a local cop who told us to get a gun.
Originally to get rid of a roaming Pit Bull, but it's "good for other things too" he said.

"I think that when you begin to bring weapons into those types of areas, into schools and churches, I think it kind of takes away from the purpose of those buildings."

"I think" is used very improperly in that sentence.

Clearly very little critical analysis went into taking those positions

Now many opponents cannot seem to remember why.

I used to write the reporters in Minnesota, when they were all screeching doom and gloom about the pending CCW law, that a year from now they would be reporting, with a sense of wonderment, why crime, road rage, etc. has not increased.

At one point the hysteria was so great I listed the five stages of accepting death, using their headlines. One lib reporter who had a sense of humor said that while it was clever, I was wrong.

I asked her to get back in touch with me a year after CCW went through. I'm still waiting.

Howze called police, telling a dispatcher she was a former mayoral candidate who had just completed a news conference.

“I thought that if I explained who I was that it might illustrate the state of mind I was in,” Howze said. “I was hoping for a faster response time.”

Typical lib. We're all equal, She is just more equal than everyone else needing the police.

The police chief in the town where I live hosts a concealed carry class quarterly that is free for residents. He’s a good joe.
