Steinman, who said he was testifying as a "concerned citizen’’ and not for the university, said a conceal-carry law will do nothing to reduce violent crime, and might even increase it.
This individual is full on nonsense, of course, since all available evidence indicates that concealed carry will decrease rather than increase violence. I think that most people at this sight know that.
However, I think this guy is representative of the majority of Ohio citizens that will be testifying before the legislature. And since our slug of a Governor has already said that he will veto any CC law that doesn't meet with the approval of politically connected police chiefs in the state, I'm guessing that we will not see CC any time soon. Not happy, just realistic...
Yea, know what you mean. For what it's worth, 2 years ago (?) here in Michigan when the shall issue bill went into effect, I had several e-mail debates with a Det. Free Press infobabe whose name I now forget since I don't read the rag. Anyway, she also was predicting doom, gloom and street shoot outs in her stupid column.
Anyway, it's now 2 years later and there has been absolutely no retraction of their statements from all the socialist naysayers who have been proven to be absolutely WRONG in their predictions!
What disgusts me the most of these socialist pigs is the fact that they have no integrity whatsoever to admit they are wrong when they have been proven to be wrong.
