Despite all the loaded guns in Dallas homes and businesses (and the
number, from a study done in 1988 - 1992 is pretty remarkable; one
assumes not much has changed in that regard), Dallas's burglary rate is
six times higher than that of New York City.

I'd like to see a cite for that


http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/data/table_06.html

Dallas: 17.3/thousand population.
NYC: 2.7/thousand population

Dallas has 6.4 times the burglary rate of New York City.

LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND STATISTICS...

People simply call the cops in Dallas
where they don't in New York.

Then your over valued statistics are mere hogwash.


If you read Randy's latest post, he says that they call the cops in NYC and
they respond quickly, and if they did the same in Dallas and they responded
quickly, it would reduce your crime by a whole lot.

If you Texas guys could get together on your story, it would save some time.

Golly. I swear, Ed, you are starting to sound just like Gunner...

Do you remember the one about the seven blind men and the elephant?

Well, Texas is bigger than the elephant.
Has a lot more parts too.
