CCW and terror attacks
Donald Sensing looks at whether or not armed citizens can effectively deal with terror attacks. He’s not optimistic, as a function of numbers:
The notion that America is comprised of an armed citizenry is just not true. Only about a third of households have a firearm (most more than one) and most of them are rifles and shotguns. In Tennessee, for example, only three percent of the population has a carry permit. In no state does the percentage of carry-permit holders come close to 10 percent.
Clearly, we need more armed citizens.
It looks like someone else thinks more armed citizens wouldn’t be a bad idea. In London, even.
