[quote=Anonymous]Why do gun promoters not take the data into consideration? Concealed carry does more harm than good: [quote]...since 2007, at least 763 people have been killed in 579 shootings that did not involve self-defense. Tellingly, the vast majority of these concealed-carry, licensed shooters killed themselves or others rather than taking down a perpetrator. The death toll includes 29 mass killings of three or more people by concealed carry shooters who took 139 lives; 17 police officers shot to death, and — in the ultimate contradiction of concealed carry as a personal safety factor — 223 suicides. Compared with the 579 non-self-defense, concealed-carry shootings, [b]there were only 21 cases in which self-defense was determined to be a factor.[/b][/quote] http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/26/opinion/the-concealed-carry-fantasy.html[/quote]
