It is statistically true that you are more likely to br wrongfully shot by a police officer than you are likely to be shot *at all* by a CCW holder.

That doesn’t surprise me. I’ve had to use a firearm for self-defense twice in my life and only fired a shot in one of those cases. Brandishing usually gets the job done, but cops never brandish. They pull and fire, even LTL arms like tasers.

In Michigan we have less cops, less crime, and more guns.

Fewer cops, less crime: MLive investigation finds Michigan safer even as police numbers decline

Last month, 405,408 adults could lawfully carry concealed handguns. That’s up from 53,000 after the first year of Michigan’s shall-issue law. That means one in 17 adults 21 or older is licensed to carry. Countless more people have guns for sport and protection in their homes.
