In an unpublished report, engineering statistician William Sturdevant found that concealed carry licensees had arrest rates far lower than the general population for every category of crime. For instance:

Licensees were 5.7 times less likely to be arrested for violent offenses than the general public - 127 per 100,000 population versus 730 per 100,000.

Licensees were 14 times less likely to be arrested for nonviolent offenses than the general public - 386 per 100,000 population versus 5,212 per 100,000.

Further, the general public is 1.4 times more likely to be arrested for murder than licensees [ see Figure I ], and no licensee had been arrested for negligent manslaughter.

Now we know why ‘Obummer’ and ‘Tweedle dumb’ don’t have lisences : they are not nonviolent , and ..
not likely to be arrested for murder or manslaughter
especially under Holder !!

I’ve seen similar reports that licensees are less likely that *cops* to be found guilty of crimes.
