    It reduces crime for approximately two million individuals per year.

    I'm sorry bubba, but the level of proof between the "concealed carry laws reduce crime" assertion and the "effective law enforcement reduces crime" assertion are not comparable. End of story.

    Look, I live in Texas. I could carry a gun if I wanted to. I love to shoot shit. It's fun. I've also never been a victim of a violent crime, and I've lived in Dallas all of my life, lots of it in the roughest areas. (Dallas has the highest murder rate in the nation, and is very high on other violent and property crimes.) Carrying a gun will only make you stupid and get you into trouble. You want to avoid crime? Don't be stupid and keep your eyes open.
