Who'd a thunk?

From the article:
In other words, we’re not just a bunch of yahoos who think we live in the Old West. We’re responsible people who are working to take our personal safety seriously.
More importantly, though, we’re taking safety seriously. Yes, there’s a difference.
The truth of the matter is that, based on my experience talking with both citizens who carry and law enforcement, the average armed citizen spends more time working with their firearm than the average police officer. They tend to be better shots and more knowledgeable about firearms and what they can actually do.

Boy, I can think of more than a few FUDDs I want to beat over the head with this quote. Good article.

They actually study this shit? This is right up there with the studies that say eating less junk food and exercising can lead to better health. I mean, seriously? This kind of stuff is meant for the individual that learns something they didn't know from reading the "Harmful if swallowed" sticker on a gas pump.

So, you're saying that this study has kinformation thats news to 50% of the population....

Some people need proof before they'll believe what we know is common sense.

While this is "DUH!" for us I appreciate any thoughtful study coming out of academia. Oregon State University took 2 years to complete the study including attending guns shows, NRA convention, monitoring online forums (must not have been ours :D), etc..

Use it with your anti friends and colleagues.
