Ah, Richard, I haven't had time to respond to your earlier message, but I
will, and you'd be wise, I think, to avoid getting too cocky about it.

Take all the time you want, Ed. I'll keep on responding to your other
posts that you *do* seem to have the time for. I'm retired....I have
lots of free time and I love a good "discussion".

You
were wrong that D.C. wasn't in the proper place in the tallies I gave, and
you've been more than a bit selective in the way you chose your states.

I think what's his name earlier accused me of being "selective" on my
numbers....but considering that I cited absolutely nothing but what
Gunner's quote said and what you three had accused him of lying
about....

See, you lot always do that while you loudly bemoan the fact that
others might do the same. You call an easily proven quote "a lie" and
then you re-interpret it to say exactly what *you* want it to say.
See your earliest posts in this thread for examples.

In this case, you quoted only what *you* defined as "open carry
states" while totally ignoring half of the quote in question ie "able
to purchase, strap on, and carry without a permit of any kind" etc.
You then went off on some meaningless tangent about "per capita" and
populations etc that had no basis in the original discussion....but
you did oh so easily try to change the topic.

The topic was and is Gunner's quote....you called him a liar for it.
Feel free to disprove his quote and prove your point. I believe I
proved mine.

Yes,
I have documentation.

So chill a bit while I get some work done, and we can take this up.
Meantime, be ready with your sources of information, eh?

You're saying you doubt my numbers or you doubt the actual laws
mentioned? The murder numbers are available in multiple places....I
found three and I believe I cited the one I used earlier. The laws
mentioned are from the NRA-ILA site.

Feel free to disprove either.
