A quick Google search will easily find many stories where the concealed carry holder comes out on top, possibly saving the lives of many.  

 

Is it a coincidence that places with strict gun control like Chicago and New York have some of the highest gun related crimes & crime in general?

 

Just look at these statistics, hard to argue against them.

It is a small sample size and not enough to draw conclusions for the entire US.  I also think our attitude toward violence and guns is a part of that.  It may take time to reshape our views.  I don't dismiss those stats though.  We can compare ourselves to other countries, but at the same time, we have a different culture and what works there may not necessarily work here.

 

I think the thing that bugs me the most about those who don't want anymore restrictions to gun ownership is they pretty much say, there is nothing we can do.  There are bad people and we can stop them.
