Will there be an increase in blacks obtaining concealed carry permits?

48. second motion needed, apply within

spin: I have introduced both blacks and Hispanics to the shooting sports and several went on to get concealed weapons permits.

I'll bet even some of your best friends are, eh?

However anyone who decides to own a firearm for self defense or to obtain a carry permit needs to understand that firearms are extremely dangerous and require great responsibility

Yay, like eddy eagle sorta says when you see an NRA member: Stop. Don't touch. Leave the Room. Tell an Adult.

eleanors: Will there be an increase in blacks obtaining concealed carry permits?

I doubt an increase in the overall percentage rate, which is indicative of what you're driving at. There might be a slight increase in total black GUYS getting ccw permits along with population increases & the illinois proscription being lifted, but I doubt a rate increase, maybe downward.
I actually believe the zimmerman trial could suppress blacks wanting to get a ccw - it wasn't trayvon martin carrying concealed it was the self appointed vigilante zimmerman SYG - stalking his ground (the zimmerman-corollary: stalking then standingYG).

el: But is it racist to suggest that a substantial number of blacks may arm themselves as a result of the trial verdict, esp. since licensed concealed-carry is not as widespread among blacks?

It might not be racist but it's not gonna make you many new black friends. Blacks support guncontrol moreso than white democrats, & far far far moreso than republicans, iirc blacks supported GC efforts in upper 80%, just below the top Jewish GC support ~90%.

el: Should blacks now be dissuaded from such action? Who would like to start such a "campaign?" .. I nominate you.
