Graph of the Day for October 8, 2009

Randall Hoven
"Allowing more people to carry concealed handguns in densely populated cities, on crowded subways, on buses and in sports stadiums, is a recipe for disaster."






Hoven's Index for October 8, 2009


Number of states allowing "shall issue" or unrestricted concealed carry in 1988: 10.

In 2006:  39.
