Baraka Guru: Even if they don't reduce crime, they do allow individual citizens to take responsibility for their own safety. Even if crime as a whole remains constant, the CCW law gives those who want to excercise it, the ability to increase their level of personal security and decrease their individual chances of becoming a victim.
As a fan of personal responsibility, I don't see the downside to this.
What I failed to convey in my previous post about firearms choices was that for someone who is not going to spend a great deal of time getting familiar with their weapon, absolute simplicity is paramount, IMHO.
