You can get to the rest off of their main page. You can get these stats off the DPS site - they're the crime rates of the odd 200,000-ish people who have CHLs. Even though most of us know that the arrest rate is WAY lower than the general public, ESPECIALLY as it spans almost 5 years.

Look at the rest of their site - it's amazing. Do people really fall for this trick? Do those who wrote this "report" really believe what they type? I would like to meet one of these people - I would like to know if they TRULY believe this crud

partial quote:


VPC analysis of the Texas data reveals that—


From 1996 to 1999, Texas concealed handgun license holders were arrested for weapon-related offenses at a rate 66 percent higher than that of the general population of Texas, aged 21 and older.

Texas concealed handgun license holders have been arrested for more than two crimes a day since the law went into effect.

Texas concealed handgun license holders have been arrested for nearly two serious violent crimes per month since the law went into effect including: murder/attempted murder, manslaughter/negligent homicide, kidnapping, rape, and sexual assault.

Texas concealed handgun license holders have been arrested for more than three drunk driving offenses per week since the law went into effect.

Texas concealed handgun license holders have been arrested for nearly two weapon-related offenses per day since the law went into effect.
 
Saddly someone will believe it. Even though the Dallas morning news just published studies to the complete contrary.
 
Hey TEXAS!
Looks like the CHL holders in Texas have a real nice class action suit going there. Have your lawyer look at some of the cases where small action groups have been sued by the companies they were protesting. It allows the plantiff the ability to air the facts and will gather media attention to the lies on the site. This is getting more and more common. Read my signature for more...

Only stat that means squat to me would be of total convictions for use of a firearm in commission of a crime, what percentage were legal CHL holders....I don't think I saw that stat in the report.....Dan in GA
 
Battler, to answer your question, they don't have shame and they have no ethics. They're true believers, and twisting the facts and lying are small prices to pay when you're fighting a holy war to rid the planet of dangerous pieces of metal and plastic.

Meiji_man, your concept is interesting. Can you suggest any cases we could look at to see this in action?

Here is a couple of articles that describes the process, http://www.oregonlive.com/oped/99/06/ed062201.html http://www.sltrib.com/1999/feb/02121999/opinion/82265.htm

They're called SLAPP suits, (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation), and they are pure EVIL. :(
However, I have had it up to HERE with being to good guy and playing fair. Not interupting the opponent because it's rude, not lying, etc.etc.

Add the Denver Post to your class action suit.

They had this story featured on a back page of section 1 this morning.

Is it possible that a person that uses a legal weapon to defend themselves or another innocent person is technically arrested ? When the shoot is determined justified the charges are dropped ? This may just be a play on words . Like saying that Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosely "assaulted" each other in front of millions of people . It could even be "assault with intent to cause bodily harm" . There may be more to this crap than meets the eye .
