Democrat journalists confused. Record concealed carry permits, in Minnesota crime does not go up....

Yep.... left wing, democrat, gun grabbers still don't understand the truth about guns and gun ownership. Law abiding gun owners do not increase the gun crime rate.... it does not happen. This is shown again in Minnesota.....where they have set a record for background checks for concealed carry gun permits....and crime has not gone up...

Reality Check: More Minnesotans Own Guns, Violent Crime Remains Low

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Minnesota set a record last year for the number of gun background checks the FBI conducted in the state.

More people are carrying guns than ever before, but the crime rate remains relatively low. WCCO’s Pat Kessler is looking at the numbers, and giving them a Reality Check.

We took a hard look at the numbers, and found: Minnesota has a high rate of gun ownership, and a relatively low rate of violent crime.

Minnesota’s violent crime rate hit a 50-year low in 2016, according to the FBI.

And in 2017, the state set a new record for firearms background checks.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System reports it processed nearly 683,544 checks on gun buyers in 2017. That includes: 473,975 permits, 94,383 handguns and 125,516 long guns.

Even the dumbest Democrat thug understands it's risky to try mugging somebody who just might be armed. Of course not enough of them comprehend their own mortality that the crime rate drops to zero.....
