Seen this some where and was wondering if you guys had any numbers on this

Statistics show citizens with conceal carry permits have a MUCH LOWER crime record than police officers.

Well the only recorded illegal use of a transferable class three weapon in the past 20 or 30 years was used by a police officer.

I heard that if you factor out dog shootings, they're the same.

That's true. There was a massive gun debate on another board I frequented in 2006 and one of the pro-gun side posted that, along with data to back it up. (Was responding to a libtard stating plainly that if you have a gun on you, you better be a police officer, or blah blah blah)

Interesting to say the least.

Statistics are totally misleading.

Statistics are facts. Facts aren't misleading.
How they're used can be misleading though.
