You know, I don't really care what effect it has on "crime." Statistics can be made to say pretty much anything.

Yeah, and my point is that gun folks really really want to believe that concealed carry has this dramatic affect on crime to the point of broadcasting it as fact when it isn't.

They just want to make sure they are not one of the victims that make up the statistics.

The funny thing is I've never really cared about how much CCW causes a reduction in crime overall, just how it causes a reduction in crimes committed against ME.

And that is all that matters and the only place in which the statistics about concealed carry can be shown to have an effect that is significant - at the individual level.
