Interesting tactic.........you don't have the statistics to back up the significant statement you made Not true, the statistics where in my post. The more important and probably more controversial statement was that areas with more gun control have more gun related crime. The statistics where included in my post and more of them can be found by following the links, or in great detail by getting the studies or books referensed but even without that the quoted stats support my contention. As for people carrying guns regularly drive away from the coasts and talk to people esp. people in rural areas. Many own multiple guns (there are more guns then people in the US), and many carry them around regularly. If you want hard stats rather then anecdotal evidence I could get stats for concealed carry permits if you would like, that would not be a great indicator but it would be something. As far as I know there is no good statistics about how often the average gun owner carries his or her gun around. It would be very difficult to get good stats on this. I suppose someone could fund a large study where they ask gun owners this question, but I don't have the funds to do it, and in any case it would have to rely on what the gun owners say with no easy way to independently verify these stats.
