Subdued by unarmed bystander.

1. The system worked

Clearly, the coach is the crazy one, for being a coach and all. Had he also had a concealed gun, someone would of died.

But he didn't

2. Surely you could find some more recent atrocities to moan about...

But they do love their football 'round here.

3. Should have pistol whipped the ccw gun goon and teach him a lesson. nt

5. Should not have slept through english class.(nt)

4. Got a real hard-on for concealed carry don't you?

You had to go back in time over a year for this one, so we can expect you've pretty much run out of these threads, right?

9. he's just

answering Tim01's request for more CWP crimes. Check today's posts, Tim said he had never heard a story where a CWP violated the law. IMO a very relevant post.

10. Helps to know that.

Now I know why at least. Still, such a small number, its statistically insignificant. Also, one would think that after a year, we should be able to cite a conviction out of that incident. I don't see one, do you?

[MichaelHarris]

11. quick

tell me how many convictions there are in the "good shooting" posts?

[AtheistCrusader]

12. A few.

The ones that turned out to not be justifiable homicides.

We don't prosecute the dead.

[MichaelHarris]

13. I didn't see the

links, did you forget them?

[AtheistCrusader]

14. You didn't ask for any.

Since you just now asked, I did a quick search, and all I could find were convictions that were reversed on appeal, because the circuit court determined the cases were actually self defense.

Do you want those links?

[GreenStormCloud]

6. And your point is?

There are about 5 million CCW holders. A few of them will become evil. But the overall record of CCWers is far better than that of the general population.

7. Anecdotes do not make significant trends.

8. K&U

The plural of anecdote is not 'data'.

(I can only assume that the point you're attempting to make is that CCWs are somehow eeevil, since you haven't attached any kind of personal statement to the spam-luge of stories.)

However, if you look in states that report the conviction rates of CCW/CHL licensees, you'd find they're anywhere from 8x to 20x less likely to commit a particular crime than anyone else you're likely to bump into on the street.

e.g.- http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/crime_records/chl/convrates.htm

15. I could find some links about unarmed parents freaking out at games.

Once again, what's your point?
