The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that justifiable homicides are rising in Philadelphia as concealed carries surge in the city.
The Inquirer lists three recent incidents in which individuals legally carrying concealed firearms shot and killed their assailants.
The paper then noted, “These sorts of deadly clashes in which the intended victims survive and assailants die are rare in Philadelphia, but are becoming more common as a growing number of people have legally armed themselves amid rising numbers of carjackings, shootings and homicides.”
The Inquirer observes that “justified homicides jumped 67 percent from 2020 to 2021.” And 2022 is on pace to surpass the number of justifiable homicides witnessed last year.
Philadelphia’s deputy police commissioner Benjamin Naish said, “We have seen an increase in the number of people that have been applying for and receiving a permit to carry. I think that they are concerned about their safety, and they’re carrying it legally, which is the big difference.”
On June 18, 2022, Breitbart News highlighted a CBS Philly report showing the highest annual number of concealed carry permit applications the city received between 2017 and 2020 was 11,814.
In 2021, the number of concealed carry permits skyrocketed to 70,790.

The 2A, saving taxpayers MILLIONS!
It's refreshing to hear some truth now and then.
Changing the criminal to victim ratio.
This looks like it is working as intended... People can now defend themselves.
Not sure what the problem is.
This is a plus for the DemonRATs. Fewer criminals on the street and they still get to vote.
This artist written like it’s a bad thing.....IT AIN’T
So what is that rag going for? We should be crying about the dead criminals?
are rare in Philadelphia, but are becoming more commonThat doesn't make sense.
Rare but increasing, sure. Used to be rare, but isn't rare anymore. That works. But rare and becoming common? LOL. Puppet writers should learn word usage.
Hawaii is a “may issue” state, read as never issue state.
We don’t have a big crime problem.
We ignore the law. Everyone has guns here.
We don’t have many blacks.
Y’all figure it out.
“justifiable homicides”
Let’s just call it what it really is......taking out the trash
“Fatal self-defense shootings” is one way to describe what’s going on here.
But, if the assailants in question were, in fact, threatening grave harm or death in these shootings, they could also be described as:
“Permanent happy endings that the dudes sorely had coming to them at the hands of individuals not necessarily scared of their own shadow.”
For those able to defend themselves, yes, great, as intended.
I doubt the policy makers want the people to have self-defense power though. In other words, I would not assume this is "working as intended." Liberals loathe self-defense. It inhibits suicide of the society.
good!!!
this should make THE THUG think twice before taking action!!
an innocent John Q. or Jane Q. Public is not going to draw down on another of ‘the Public family’. That is simpply not done.
Y’all figure it out.
__________
Why don’t y’all spell it out.
“Self-defense shootings” implies lawful use, assuming the force used is not excessive.
So why can we not just cut to the chase, if you can legally own it, you can carry it and use it to protect yourself without permits or fees to any gubmint. Just like the constitution spells out in the 2nd ammendment?

Requiring permits is infringement.
