Study: murder rates decrease as gun holders increase

Shared from Zite

 Yet another study has shown a correlation between gun ownership and lower crime rates. This one, by the Crime Prevention Research Center, was released today and shows that an increase in concealed carry permits led to a drastic reduction in murder rates. It says that some 11.1 million Americans now hold concealed carry permits, up from 4.5 million in 2007, according to Fox News.

"When you allow people to carry concealed handguns, you see changes in the behavior of criminals," John R. Lott, president of the group that conducted the study, said. "Some criminals stop committing crimes, others move on to crimes in which they don't come into contact with victims and others actually move to areas where they have less fear of being confronted by armed victims."
