Since 2007, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared from 4.6 million to over 12.8 million, and murder rates have fallen from 5.6 killings per 100,000 people to just 4.2, about a 25 percent drop, according to the report from the Crime Prevention Research Center.

And the number of permits issued is increasing faster every year. Over 1.7 million new permits were issued last year — a 15.4 percent increase over 2013, the largest such single-year jump ever, according to the report from the center led by President John R.

Concealed carry citizens save more lives than doctors do.

[D1B]

permits have little or nothing to do with it.

The decline is due to three primary reasons:

1. Better economy
2. Cell phones
3. Social media

You don't understand how it all works, do you?

He do wat Obama tell him to do, that how he be

[CID1990]

I don't think a rise in CCPs has much effect on crime rates. If someone tries to rob me and I shoot him, it still goes down in the UCR as a robbery (and add in a homicide)

The argument is the deterrent effect, but most criminals don't think in those terms.

What the lowering crime rate vs increased CCPs DO show is that there is no increase in crime AS A RESULT OF increased CCPs, which is a common trope used by gun control advocates.
