Reply #68: The "great experiment" as you call it... [View All]

[spin]

began years ago.

Checkout the map at this site to learn how many states allow concealed carry of firearms...

And this link shows how many states have concealed carry reciprocity with Florida:

So far the experiment has been a success. No states that granted licensed individuals the right to carry concealed have repelled that law.

The Supreme Court decision will merely allow honest citizens to have firearms in their house for self protection. The concealed carry laws I mention in the links go far beyond that.

But as you point out, gun ownership by itself does little to solve the crime problem. Blaming crime on guns has been a ploy used by politicians for years so they could avoid addressing the difficult underlying problems that you list.
