We're the Only Ones More Criminally Inclined Enough

“We find that permit holders are convicted of misdemeanors and felonies at less than a sixth the rate for police officers,” the report says. “Among police, firearms violations occur at a rate of 16.5 per 100,000 officers. Among permit holders in Florida and Texas, the rate is only 2.4 per 100,000.10. That is just one-seventh of the rate for police officers.” [More]
Which perfectly explains why they can be trusted to go armed in "gun free zones" and you can't.  At least by Opposite Day "progressives."

This is useful data to have and to promulgate.  That said, I know peaceable gun owners who will not get a "permit" out of principle  -- but there's no real way to collect data on them since they're not inclined to share personal information about themselves or their guns.

What guns?
