Oh, what the hell: There are 27 open carry states and they represent 32.95%
of the population. They also are the states in which 31.26% of the murders
are committed. Those are 2001 figures, US Census and FBI Uniform Crime
Reports. I have the Excel workbooks on it if you don't believe it, and
you're welcome to them.

I am far from a gun nut and cringe every time I say something supporting
Gunner but those statistics, on a per capata basis, seem to say that
open carry laws have very little to do with murder rates.

If there is an Andrew Ford, and if you know who he is, you can tell him for
me that he's either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both.

Don't you watch Faux News? That is the style of today's conservative
reporting. Take an insignificant fact, twist it a little, add a few
false assumptions for support and spew it out as "news".
