Stand Your Ground? Texas man kills teacher over noise complaint

274. Certainly there are millions who could qualify for a CHL but don't want one...

...or can't afford one.

That data doesn't matter because when you go out in the general public, you are surround by - the general public. You aren't able to surround yourself only by people who could get a CHL but don't. You are surrounded by both violent criminals and non-violent citizens and you don't know who is whom. Many people who want to limit gun violence attempt to do so by backing laws that would be obeyed only by people who are not a threat, but might be able to save them from violence. Violent criminals would ignore such laws just the way they already ignore gun laws. CHLers save more innocent lives than are taken by CHLers in every year in Texas. (Yes, I can show state collected stats on that too.)

I never claimed that people become more or less violent with a CHL. I claimed, if you would bother to read, that we are heavily screened to keep criminals out, and that the screening is successful.

It is up to you to demonstrate that the Texas experience is unique to Texas.

Since the Guns debate is about violence, I am not concerned about parking tickets.
