Here's a short statistic I did about Seattle and Chicago.
Chicago has some of the worst anti-gun laws in the country... 'Everything' is illegal, unless you're a cop...
Hmm.....
Not only are concealed carry permits issued in Seattle (King county, really), but open carry is completely legal WITHOUT a permit.. I wonder how Seattle crime statistics stack up to Chicago..
Chicago Population: 2896016
Seattle Population: 563374
Homicides in Chicago :
2004: 448
2005: 449
2006: 467
3 yr. average of 455
Homicides in Seattle :
2004: 24
2005: 25
2006: 29
3 yr. average of 26 per year.
Being that Chicago has 5x more people than Seattle, I'll artificially inflate Seattle's crime to correlate with the population... so, Seattle has a population equivalent of 130 (5x26) homicides per year.... While chicago has 455.. There are more than THREE times as many homicides in a 'gun free zone' than there are where you can not only carry a firearm concealed with a permit, but carry a firearm OPENLY even without a permit...
"Gun Free Zone" = 455 Deaths per year.
"Gun Friendly Zone" = 130 Deaths per year. (Adjusted for populatino)
Yeah, it's the guns killing people....
