Need to get the numbers right not 1/100 of 1%. It is less.
It is 22/250000 equals .000088 percent

Right...but you want them per 1,000 people.
I can't get Florida felonious crime rates per 1,000 people for the given year. However, It must be around 100 felonies per 1000 people and then we can quibble about the percentage of actual felons within a population.
Suddenly the felony rate of CCW people shows that gun owners are *less* likely to commit *any* felony than non-gun owners.
