Expect to see your own words repeated back to you- frequently. It sheds a lot of light on your position, as an ex-robber.

Face it, you've lost all credibility on the subject. Pat yourself on the back for that one, if you can reach around the foot in your mouth.

TX CHL holders 16x less likely to be convicted of crime [View all] X_Digger Jul 2012 OP

What's the rate among those who can qualify for permit, but don't think carrying a gun is necessary? Hoyt Jul 2012 #1

Curently no such data to compare to. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #2

The rate among first time offenders (over 21) for any crime is 182 per 100,000 X_Digger Jul 2012 #3

I would think that CHL holders would still have lower crime rates than the "qualified" population OneTenthofOnePercent Jul 2012 #4

I offer Zimmerman and Holmes as evidence you are wrong. They were fine, law-abiding gun toters Hoyt Jul 2012 #6

Just as you were a fine, law-abiding young man right up until you started robbing people. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #8

Ba-Zinga! Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #25

Well, I will say this -- You guys in the gun culture are similar minded. Can't read in context. Hoyt Jul 2012 #28

If you didn't want it discussed, why did you broach the subject on an DISCUSSION board? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #35

When speaking in terms of statistics & probability, single data points prove nothing. OneTenthofOnePercent Jul 2012 #9

Assuming he ever got caught when he was robbing people, definitely disqualified. X_Digger Jul 2012 #10

You know X-D, some people are just too ignorant to understand context. Hoyt Jul 2012 #12

Ooh, struck a nerve, did I? X_Digger Jul 2012 #15

Not an x-robber, probably cleaner than you. And I don't practice shooting people either. Hoyt Jul 2012 #16

"Not an x-robber" What, you're still doing it? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #20

Good point - I am NOT "not an x-robber." I have become a gun-grabber. Hoyt Jul 2012 #21

what is your success rate? Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #26

Now we know why Hoyt hates guns so much... virginia mountainman Jul 2012 #24

A concern for occupational safety, as it were... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #36

But it's a data point you can understand, cutting through all the statistical junk. Politics Hoyt Jul 2012 #11

Numbers tell us little of what will happen in the future with a heavily armed society owned by the Hoyt Jul 2012 #17

Does holmes have a concealed carry license? rl6214 Jul 2012 #27

It's safe to assume that a subset of the people who have permits don't actually carry guns slackmaster Jul 2012 #29

Do you get to walk around in public surrounded only by people who can qualify for permits? Atypical Liberal Jul 2012 #30

Yes, and we get to walk around with Zimmermans, Stawickis, etc. Hoyt Jul 2012 #31

Yes, that is true. Atypical Liberal Jul 2012 #32

Bull. The chances of your needing a gun in public are quite small too. Hoyt Jul 2012 #33

Ah, but society is not predicated on others' determination of your (or mine, or anybodys) need. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #34

But that is irrelevant. Atypical Liberal Jul 2012 #37

Yeah, and those who could qualify for permits, but know guns in public aren't Hoyt Jul 2012 #38

But still more likely to be involved in other crimes. Atypical Liberal Jul 2012 #39

Unpossible! Callisto32 Jul 2012 #5

Word! He also failed to account for all the pollution those guns cause by being out in public... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #7

but they're 16x more rude to society. ileus Jul 2012 #19

Good to see you finally evolving. Maybe there's hope for humanity. Hoyt Jul 2012 #22
