The anti's response would be something along the lines of "YES! So why risk 11,955 people's lives, just so the 45 can boost their gun-toting ego by carrying their killing machines with them all day!?!?"TVGuy wrote:But guns are evil and dangerous.

A discussion with a coworker resulted in us doing the math.
12000 Tyler Junior College student population
3000 For the sake of argument split the classes up evenly four ways allowing the seniors to be in the agegroup that can have a license
90 Roughly 3% of the states population has chosen to obtain a license
45 Polls have shown about half of license holders donnot carry on a regular basis
So, that is roughly 45 out of 12000 that might, statistically, be carrying a gun on a regular basis.
Add to that the fact that those 45 are 17 times less likely to break the law than the other 11955.
A statistical non-issue made out to be an unbelievable crisis!
