Officials See Little Impact On Safety From Concealed Weapons

From KSDK News in St. Louis:
Six months after concealed guns became legal in St. Louis city and county, the program appears to have had little impact on public safety.

Apparently after over one thousand concealed carry permits were issued in St. Louis officials notice no increase in gun crime or accidental shootings.

Well, I have only one thing to say:
no ****, sherlock!

Check me on this, but I think that in other states with concealed weapon permits (Texas I think), the shooting rates have gone down. Something the liberal press and politicians would rather not have us know.

Yes, it has been shown time and time again that when law abiding citizens are armed crime rates drop all around. When asked criminals are known to say that they fear a citizen with a gun more than they fear police.
