Thanks for the correction. Kind of like chitown today then. Lot of good that’s doing. Maybe they should pass more and stricter laws. Yeah, that’ll do it.
Oops, responding to wrong post. My bad. :(
Re: That bad headline ...
Yeah, I have in my mind a disturbing image of all these CC Licenses lying around on the ground all full of bullet holes. Not a pretty picture. :o
CHL holders are far more law abiding than LEOs.
“In Tombstone, four men get killed in one day in a notoriously tough town and it creates a legend that survives to this day, some 130 years later”
It became a legend because it was such a rare event. Murder rates were extremely low at the time, as far as I can tell.

Concealed Carry Permit Holders are One Third as Likely to Commit Murder as Police Officers

It initially appeared to me that Texas was concealing the murder rates for those with handgun licenses. At least it caused me to read the article.
Ha! Yes, a perfectly valid alternate reading. Oh the pitfalls of human language ...
Because they don’t carry a badge too, I’ll bet ya! We need to get rid of them bad badges.
“Because they don’t carry a badge too, I’ll bet ya! “
I think there is truth in that. Police know that they have immunities that the ordinary armed citizen does not.
Consider whether George Zimmerman would ever have gone to trial if he had been a police officer.
It never would have happened.
Amish?
Yeah. Golly knows their murdering and killing rate.
