    Some follow up:

    Can someone link the stat that says cops commit more crimes than ccw holders? I recall 15.6 vs 2.something per 100000.

    Yes, you can watch the video of the proceedings. Search md judicial proceedings video on the Google and all the archived footage will be there.



    This was great fun. I encourage everyone to hit the house meeting next week. Just to watch, or to testify if you can. I plan to brush up a little more on my testimony and hit the bricks again next week. That's to all who made the effort yesterday.
    From my written testimony on SB 160:

    Nationwide, persons issued such carry permits are the most law-abiding individuals in the country, with a crime rate lower than that of sworn, active duty police officers. See
    http://crimeresearch.org/2014/07/ne...llion-americans-hold-concealed-carry-permits/ For example, researchers found that “concealed carry licensees [in Texas] had arrest rates far lower than the general population for every category of crime.” H. Sterling Burnett, Nat’l Ctr. For Policy Analysis, Texas Concealed Handgun Carriers: Law-Abiding Public Benefactors 1 (2000), http://goo.gl/1Ebwpb Similarly, Florida has issued nearly 3.5 million concealed carry licenses since 1987 and has revoked less than 0.5% of them for any reason, with the vast majority of those revocations having nothing to do with misuse of a firearm.
