The John Hopkins study they cite is likely one John Lott and others have likely taken apart. Using the Sun-Times’ logic (or lack thereof), places like Vermont and Maine must have been very violent to begin with and even more so by now.

Ah yes, Chicago, aka, communist Mayberry. There are none so blind as those who just will not see.

“We remain unconvinced,” should read “We remain unwilling yo be convinced...”

[trebb]

Kind of funny since they will also use the phrase, “If it saves even one life....” as an argument to take guns away....I guess they are part of the “Cops’ lives don’t matter” crowd.....

[PeteB570]

If it saves just one life..........

Where have I heard that before?

[rarestia]

There is no convincing evidence — just the occasional anecdote — that permitting people to walk around with concealed guns detours crime.

And apparently concealed dictionaries don't deter editors from missing obvious linguistic failures.

That aside, Mr. John Lott would like to have a chat with this author.

"We remain unconvinced because gun ownership is largely by conservatives who have not bowed down to Godless philosophy and voted for us. Furthermore, we intend to kill them in the future and don't want them to be armed when that occurs."

The actual true thought in the author's head, police be damned.

1- It is "deter" not "detour"
2- The point of Concealed Carry is not to deter crime (that is a secondary effect), it is for protection.

There is credible evidence, on the contrary, that concealed carry leads in the long run to more crime.

Horse Hockey. Unless the carrier is a criminal, the claim is demonstrably false.

[Jack Hammer]

We can’t allow honest residents of Chicago to defend themselves against homicidal gang bangers.

What a moron.

[wastoute]

The lies of the Rats about 2nd Amendment has red pilled more people than anything else, I do believe. As much as I hate them for doing it i love the result.

---In June, the Chicago Tribune looked at almost 40 shootings — including at least 11 killings — by some 265,000 Illinois residents who have been granted concealed carry licenses since 2014. The Tribune could not say — because the state police do not keep track —whether those shootings were justified or the irresponsible actions of trigger-happy fools.

--obviously, if any of the 11 out of 265,000 were unjustified we'd have heard about it--and in the meantime Chicago's "minority " community racks up that many every couple of weeks---virtually all by persons unqualified to obtain concealed weapons permits--

[Bonemaker]

The Sun Times has been communist as far back as I can remember. It has been on the verge of folding for a couple of years now. Hardly any better then the weekly grocery store flyer.

[faithhopecharity]

American citizens don’t need to “justify” anything about their divinely- bestowed rights/ liberties. And certainly not to the Chicago news media.

[Hardastarboard]

Ah, yes - the Chicago S-T says it, so it's true, and SHUT UP you questioning peasants who want citations for the studies.

[junta]

These vermin want you disarmed and their political allies with guns to terrorize you, hell these chumps probably own Glocks themselves.

[Little Ray]

The cowards at the paper don't allow comments, but, from another article:

"It is more common to see officers saved by legally armed citizens than to see officers shot by people who are not prohibited possessors."

This statement should be in everybody's toolbox for debating gun grabbers.

[Boogieman]

“Hang your argument on a single anecdote, and you can defend almost anything.”

Like “Hands Up Don’t Shoot”?
