a law abiding citizen is less likely to get jacked, robbed, beaten if perps think they are carrying. Same deal for someone breaking in a home or a home invasion. Perps want easy safe targets. They don't want to get shot.
How are they going to know if the weapon is concealed?
You really are dense. They don't have to know, just know there's a greater possibility.

That's due to the way they calculate stuff.
If you carry a firearm illegally and kill somebody it counts as a murder.
If you have a concealed carry permit and kill somebody defending yourself it isn't a murder.
Two people are still dead but not every dead person killed by a gun is 'murdered.'

Or, maybe most of the new permit holders are lousy shots. Not buying the preventive effect at all. Most crimes are crimes of passion, opportunity and impulse. People don't think about whether some one is packing before they act out.

If you are defending yourself. We all know where that leads us. Why not just give everyone a concealed permit, then the murder rate would REALLY drop and the NRA nuts would really have something to crow about!!

The gang violence isn't related to the CCP folks though.
Gang members kill each other and poor folks in the wrong place at the wrong time. CCP don't impact that because those folks don't have permits.
The CCPs only have an impact on a certain portion of the overall crime rate.

I think we both know that taking a course and shooting at an outline are a long, long way from firing a weapon in self defense. Besides, apparently you didn't get my sarcasm.

And you don't buy the statistical fact that deaths from self defense don't count in the murder column?
We are, after all, talking about the statistics. The individual situations aren't terribly important.
We already have two clear cut scenarios acting as opposites.

All the more reason to pack heat and defend yourself. No way to know if permit holders are lousy shots. The best shooters practice, some permit holders practice often other do not. Can't lump in a bar owner who packs for protection vs. a gun collector enthusiast who hits the target range once a week. Nice try though.

You and the other guy need to read a little slower. You are both misinterpreting what I'm saying. I don't give a shiiit about how you count the rate. dead is dead.

Murdered and dead are not synonymous.

You'd have to look at the specific numbers. The CCPs just aren't lowering or impacting the vast majority of the deaths which are gang related.
