FEL, we agree that criminals are selecting weak targets--your point wasn't opposed to mine.
Please provide some stats to back up your claim that carjackings have decreased to the point of virtual non-existence as a correlate to relaxation of gun control legislation.
If you are arguing that criminals now assume everyone to be armed as the reason they don't carjack, then you have to explain why they aren't shooting everyone before taking the vehicle versus their old model of threatening someone and taking it.
That is, if criminals are as rational as you assume them to be and they believed their potential victims to be armed, then why wouldn't they shoot their victims before they had a chance to respond and still take the car if they desired it?
