In July of 2013, Illinois became the last state in the union to enact a concealed carry law. In January of this year, the state began accepting applications for permits. This week, Chicago police announced that the citys first quarter murder rate was the lowest since 1958.
Via ABC-affiliate Eye Witness News in the Windy City:
◾The first three months of the year saw 6 fewer murders than the same time frame in 2013a 9 percent dropand 55 fewer murders than 2012, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
◾There were 90 fewer shootings and 119 fewer shooting victims, drops of 26 and 29 percent respectively, according to police statistics.
◾Compared to the first quarter of 2012, there have been 222 fewer shootings and 292 fewer shooting victims. Overall crime is down 25 percent from last year, and police said more than 1,300 illegal guns were recovered in the last three months.
Coincidence? Hard to say. And too early to tell. Although, I doubt that the anti-gun crowd is celebrating the good news.
Gun crime experts John Lott, Jr. and David Mustard made the famous argument in Crime, Deterrence, and Right-to-Carry Concealed Firearms that: When state concealed handgun laws went into effect in a county, murders fell by 8.5 percent, and rapes and aggravated assaults fell by 5 and 7 percent. More guns mean less crime.
Gary Kleck, PhD., also a gun crime expert, found that the crime deterrence effect of firearms possession is significant: sophisticated statistics suggest three to four crimes are stopped by a handgun than are committed in the United States every year.
In virtually every instance, criminals would rather face a jury than an armed victim.
In virtually every instance, liberals would rather force people call the police than have the capacity to effectively defend themselves.

Who in their right mind would rather wait 15 minutes for a cop to arrive when they could save their own life in a matter of seconds? Guns are great equalizers. A "courageous," bad-ass criminal becomes a cowardly wimp when confronted by an armed citizen.

But if everyone is packing, how do the libtards protect their leg-breakers and shylocks?
Jan-Mar were brutal weather wise in Chicago. This needs more time.
Get back to us at the end of the year. Please and thank you.
It can't be the concealed carry....it just can't be. Only progressive ideas work.
I'm sure the liberal media will chalk this one up to one of the Hussein's speeches. He inspired the good black folks to stop killing each other. Yea....that had to be it....

This is some funny shit. If you really believe that allowing concealed carry in Chicago helped drop the murder rate, you're out of your frickin mind. You want to know why there were less gun deaths and less shootings? You will think I'm nuts, but when you think about it you will know that I'm correct. The reason there were less shootings and killings in Chicago the first three months of this year is because it was so fucking cold that nobody went outside. Everyone, including the gangbangers who commit most of these murders, were too busy trying to stay warm. Just wait until the weather warms up and they are back on the streets, and the shootings will go right back up again.
