That's what they said about Florida, when it became a shall issue
state - of course the murder rate went DOWN, and they was an
interesting unintended consequence - You saw massive robberies of
people who's cars had "Z" license plates - "Z" plates were rentals,
and they knew that the drivers would NOT have a gun. Florida actually
had to pass a law revoking the "Z" plates, and banning rental car
companies from putting visible ID on the outside of the cars!

In general, murder rates have gone done in every states that have
inacted shall issue laws - Now THAT was significant
