187. that "you are 62 times more likely to kill a family member than a criminal" crap

And it's all yours!

The Dept. of Justice keeps very close tabs on shootings. Nationally, a CCW holder is 1/16 as likely to commit a gun crime as is someonje without a license.

Can you direct us to your references, please?

Can you tell us why you would find it interesting that a certified crime-free population (i.e. holders of permits to carry concealed firearms) would commit fewer crimes than a population that includes many violent criminals?
