Re: Texas A&M Study

The main point that most folks (except for BearingArms' note) are seeming to miss is that the authors of the study compared CHL numbers versus the numbers of ARRESTS for crimes, not the number of crimes, themselves.

Imagine this: a police department's officers refuse to arrest anyone for a month. Then they publish their arrest records as a reflection of the amount of crime in the city. Do the statistics correlate? Of course not! The same thing is happening in the A&M "research".

Now, if someone wants to compare CRIME statistics versus numbers of CHLs issued, then you might have a valid study, but not as the research is presented.
