So the fuck what?Well with concealed carry at it's highest, violent crime has been going up.
Even the WI DA says there is no proof that any rise in crime was caused by the concealed carry law.
And if CCW did really cause crime then why is it that crime has been on the decline for more than 25 years and even taking into account the slight rise in crime recently both the crime and the murder rates are at a 30 year low even though more people than ever have concealed carry permits ?
Violent crime has increased now as concealed carry had increased. Crime decreased after Clinton crime bill and gun control.
Even the WI DA says there is no proof that any rise in crime was a direct result of the concealed carry laws
So until you can actually prove a causal link between the rise in crime in WI and it's CCW law you are as usual just flapping your gums.
you need to read this
Correlation does not imply causation
That being said, you also can not prove that it has reduced criminal activity either like some claim. Here is my take on open carry and the Criminal. If I were to rob a store, I will just rob it. Afterall, that's all I am there for. I will probably not shoot up the place if they cooperate and give me what I demand at gun point. Robber isn't given the same importance by law enforcement that murder is. But let me enter and see that one person wearing that gun on their hip, that is my first target. And I am probably better at it than John Q is with his. Now that I just killed one person, I just might go into the old "No Witnesses" mode and try and shoot everyone else. The Open Carry person does not even have to draw his weapon. On the Other hand, the CCW does have the option not to let the criminal know he is armed and can elect NOT to draw the weapon unless he feels that it's entered into a life or death situation.
Wrong......you have no idea what the criminal intends when they are robbing a store....
8 people murdered in Brown's Chicken robbery..after they had the money....
Brown's Chicken massacre - Wikipedia
Most criminals are not good with their guns.....that is just a bad guess on your part, since most criminals can't legally buy, own or carry a gun...which means they can't go to a legitimate range to practice.....
So that is once.
