Who cares if Florida is a popular state for out of state people to get concealed carry permits?

I would love to see the numbers for Florida taken a step further.

I want to see the number of concealed carry permits per 10,000 people by counties compared to various types of violent crime (home invasion, armed robbery, rape, murder, etc) per 10,000 people by counties.

That study, IMHO, would put to rest all the liberal/progressive/socialist/dimocrat BS about increased numbers of concealed carry permits will turn our cities into rivers of blood.

The original article implied that a large number of permits necessarily meant a large number of people in the state are actually carrying. Although many in Florida are, fo course, like Utah the numbers are inflated because of the numerous out of state permit holders, many of whom don't spend any time in Florida.

An anti-gunner did more or less what you suggested.

He did a county by county study of the entire US, comparing gun ownership to crime rates in every county.

When he was done, he wrote a book about the results.

Former anti-gunner John Lott wrote, “More Guns, Less Crime”.
