Based on the Violence Policy Centers numbers, Concealed Carry Citizens are safer than the Police!!!!

[Logical]

After doing some research, it is clear that all police officers in the USA should be disarmed!

The Violence Police Center has a section called dramatically "Concealed Carry Killers" (link below). This lists all of the murders and suicides caused by holders of Concealed Carry Licenses. Why they list suicides in these stats is beyond me as citizens do not need a CCW license to kill themselves in their own home. I guess the VPC needs the numbers to try to make Concealed Carry holders look bad.

So the VPC site lists 309 deaths caused by CC citizens in four years. This is 77 per year. There are 6 million concealed carry license holders in the USA, this is not counting the states that do not require a license. So this works out to be 1.3 deaths per 100,000 Concealed Carry License holders. An EXTREMELY low number.

Now for the reason Police Officers should be disarmed. The suicide rate for police officers in 2008 and 2009 was about 17 per 100,000. So that means police officers are 13 times more dangerous than CCW license holders. This clearly means, based on the VPC arguments and the anti-gun people here, that Police Officers should be disarmed.

And there are plenty of Police Officer Wife murder/suicide stories every year that are not in these numbers.

Obviously something must be done to disarm police officers in this country! Write the VPC and ask them to address this issue!!
