There is no basis in the article for this conclusion to be drawn.From 2007 to the end of 2011, new concealed handgun licenses increased by more than 45 percent in San Antonio and 39 percent statewide, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Criminologists say this increase has also led to more officer-involved shootings, since suspects are more likely to be armed.
I agree... you need to use liberal logic to reach that conclusion.This article doesn't flat out blame CHL's for the increase in murders, but it's not a pro-gun piece either.
