[QUOTE="Doomkid:1183460"]I wasn't implying that you were my research assistant, I just wanted you to supply evidence to back up your point as I offered to do for mine. So that we could both 1) learn something from each other 2) have a discussion rather than a shouting match It is hard to draw a positive or negative correlation between opening up of conceal carry laws over the past 25 and the firearm homicide rate. I was very wrong to assume that there was data to support my position, and the truth is it doesn't obviously support it. However, I believe that it is a bad idea to allow urban populations to arm themselves in the long run. I'm not saying that concealed carry laws give people a license or a reason to just shoot someone. What I'm saying is that it creates a context in which it is much easier for someone to get shot for a trivial reason. Example: Men in lower-income areas of cities can be prone to act in rash ways to resolve jealousy issues. The position of being in a relatively low-status position can lead individuals to take extreme risks over what people in general might call "trivial incidents". Since cities characteristically group those with low-status together one would expect more of these explosive "trivial incidents" to occur and cause problems, and indeed that is borne out in research. (Wilson, David S. [i]Evolution for Everyone[/i], p 94-96) So, would it not make sense to err on the side of caution and arm less rather than just arming everyone (who-is-able-to-obtain-a-permit)?[/QUOTE]
