It hasnt. Crime happened before the laws were relaxed, and surprisingly enough, it will continue to. In this case, the gun was not the problem but rather an individual with some major anger problems. Those people have existed LONG before there were firearms.

You're incorrect - as usual. You most certainly DO need a license to carry concealed in the state of Georgia.

Well as we've already established, what YOU think and what is reality tend to differ greatly. In many states, a gun in the car is considered a concealed weapon. I dont know about Georgia specifically though.

How the fuck would you know? You dont even realize a CCW permit is required in Georgia. There are only 2 states in which a permit is not required to carry concealed - Vermont, which has been that way for over a century, and Alaska which recently dropped the license requirement.

No, its a perfect example of criminal behavior. Nobody has used the "law of the jungle" line except you and frankly finding one single example of criminal behavior in a nation of 300 million people and equating that with the behavior of all gun owners makes you look quite foolish and hysterical.

Exactly - and one of the many reasons why I carry. Thank you for proving my point.

I hardly think you've handed anyone their ass, yet you've done a very good job of once again demonstrating how your head is firmly embedded in your own.
