I was playing around today at work, and was able to pull the ones I posted from a Florida site, The State totals are a little old, but it works to show the point.
(Higher numbers than I thought for State Totals)

Your numbers are wrong.
The number of denials is actually the total number of valid licenses. Over 51,000 of them were issued by other states.

As for the number of crimes:
If you commit a robbery with a gun and use it and kill someone, that is one person with 3 crimes. Those numbers are meaningless the way you presented them.

I'm just looking at the link you posted. You read it wrong.

The second part, Anyone can read statistics any way they want. The numbers you gave are Offences, not people. A person can commit multiple offences at the same time.

stats so what.
Remember Guns dont kill... People do.
Gun control is the ability to hit the target you are shooting at.
but most of all criminals dont care about laws.

God, Guns, and Guts is what made this country.
Decient people dont go around shooting others unless needed, criminals shoot anyone for their own gain.

Maybe it's the Prozac or Ambien I'm on, But I think your numbers and mine match ????

~Ericjhach~
I agree. I gave the STATS to show that the numbers of people who carry legally and commit crimes are very small compared to the overall numbers.

In other words, It's the Criminals you have to worry about, not the CCW's

Good post tracy, I love it when people take the time out to show it is the boneheads commiting crimes and not the law abiding citizens.

The way you worded it sounded like over 1 million licensed gun owners. It is actually 490,760 total. 51,051 were issued by other states.
You put 490,760 as the number denied.
I wasn't arguing with you, just correcting something I saw.

Criminals don't care about laws and criminals will all ways have guns. I think that everyone that can pass a back ground check, and takes a safty course, unless your ex-military, police,etc. should apply for there ccw with the state. I read some where that there was one small town that the mayor ordered everyone 18yr. old and to get a ccw and that towns crime rate went to zero.
