Re: Crime Statistics: CHL v. General Population

the track record of CHLs' is much better than that of law enforcement.
It's interesting this thread re-surfaced as I was recently wondering about this very issue. I don't see LEO data on the attached spreadsheet, so I'm wondering what the numbers are that back this up. I don't say this to disparage any LEOs, but rather my line of thinking is that LEOs can carry openly pretty much anywhere they like, on- and off-duty, and people don't think twice about them having a gun. Private citizens who are carrying are viewed with fear and suspicion. It would be nice to get the data out that a CHL holder is as safe or even safer than a LEO when it comes to the threat of a crime. (Not that I'd expect Joe Public to enthusiastically buy off on it)
