The story is about a Memphis TN newspaper, in 2008, publishing info that can be found on-line from the TN Dept of Safety. It's also about a study on crime data from the area, recently compiled: "Their findings were pretty conclusive: “We find that burglaries increased in ZIP codes with fewer gun permits, and decreased in those with more gun permits, after the database was publicized.” Specifically, in ZIP codes with the largest number of residents who had permits to carry firearms, the number of burglaries fell by 18 percent. That decrease took place even as burglaries were going up throughout the entire region covered by the database."
Makes sense to me.
