Well, there are approx. 80 MILLION gun owners in the U.S., which makes us outnumber the cops 10 to 1. You can go from there on your estimates. How many of those 80M are carrying concealed? How many ADs in ther civilian sector? How many ADs in the professional sector?

Well done BretJ. Once you're comfortable making comments without factual back-up, you can move on to "re-writing history," another liberal media classic.

Lets not forget, true hard core libs don't let the truth get in the way of their agenda. Another fact with hard core libs is conservatives do not have first amendment rights if you disagree with them.

Bretj, don't understand why you are concerned, as fuhr52 said, liberals don't care about facts. It's how they FEEL it should be.

You had your chance, gave it your best shot, now move on. You will not give a liberal any warm and fuzzies with pro-gun facts.
