Philadelphia: Fatal Self-Defense Shootings Soar as Concealed Carry Applications Rise
breitbart.com ^ | 6/20/2022 | AWR Hawkins

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.

I’ll help. Blacks commit a ton of violent crime.
I live just outside Philly, and it’s almost always blacks committing violent crimes.
That said, don’t go into the jungle in Hawaii where they’re making “ice”.

There is a culture where they have no family.
“African American”.
In Hawaii Ohana is #1 regardless of race.
Moms,dads, aunties and uncles, and grand parents.
In black culture that does not seem to be the case.
Is that clear enough for you?
Boys need Fathers, girls need fathers.
The system fails when you eliminate daddy.

Nice to see things working out the way our Founding Fathers intended.

On the one hand it takes things out of the hands of the "catch and release" DA's hands.

On the other he may start prosecuting self-defenders, because their not killing enough "whities"....

Requiring permits is infringement.

It has been argued it is and it isn't. I personally think in some circumstances permits are not infringement but I am not a judge nor have I adjudicated 2nd Amendment cases.

I’m big island.
Most here are very Libertarian.
Democrats run the place, but they are the source
of all the jobs( government).
DUH!
Thankfully they are all incompetent so we pretty much
do as we please.
There are only 200,000 people in a space the size of Connecticut.
I’m almost off grid so I just pay taxes and keep my
head down. I don’t need the government for anything.
