With a h/t to The Sentinel we have this:
An editorial in a legacy media outlet that admits:
We confess to harboring some reservations about the concealed carry law. Our fear was an increase in guns in public would result in more guns being displayed prematurely and/or more accidents.
White said recently: “All the fears over conceal and carry have never manifested.”
We concede the point.
Anecdotal evidence does not suggest an increase in accidents or unprovoked gunplay.
The evidence, however, does show people defending themselves from harm.
The message being sent to felons is don’t bring a weapon to a crime unless you’re prepared to accept the risk.
Thanks to The News Tribune for the unexpected media moment of the day.
Wow. Although I would have said “years of statistical data” rather than “anecdotal evidence”.
Sigh. I hate living in Massachusetts.
I never would have expected to see that printed in ANY paper… WOW…
Tacoma. It ain’t Seattle.
[...] By admitting they were wrong: We confess to harboring some reservations about the concealed carry law. Our fear was an increase in guns in public would result in more guns being displayed prematurely and/or more accidents. [...]
How gracious of them to “concede the point,” long after any usefulness in the debate. Incidentally, their “point” was in fact their entire irrational non-data-based, emotional argument against expanding the legal exercise of the rights of citizens, not some minor quibble.
Maybe next they can concede the minor point that calling those opposed to the liberal agenda, or socialism in general, are not RAAAAAACISTS, and that yelling that at us is not a legitimate “debating style.”
