Yep....law abiding people carrying guns do not increase the crime rate....

another defeat for the anti gun lie that more guns = more gun crime.

University Implements Campus Carry — And The Results Are Amazing

Deflating the leftist narrative that more guns means more crime, the University of Kansas saw a significant decrease in crime since implementing campus carry in July 2017.

According to university police, the number of crimes dropped on campus from 2016 to 2017. A news release from the KU Office of Public Safety showed a 13% decrease. There were 770 criminal offenses reported on campus in 2016, but that dropped to 671 reports in 2017, reportsLawrence-Journal World.

There were also zero criminal weapons violations in 2017. Campus police statistics show 14 weapons violations from 2008 to 2016.

Although KU police seemed to attribute the decline to added police and security as well as their use of “security technology” like on-campus cameras, the lack of gun crimes nevertheless does nothing to bolster liberal gun control arguments.

KU police handle crimes involving guns about once every 2 years, records show

There have been a total of three criminal reports involving handguns on or adjacent to campus in that time, reports show.

KU police also discovered one explosive, one throwing star, one set of brass knuckles and two knives, for a total of eight weapons in criminal reports filed since 2011.

When police encounter weapons on campus it’s usually in connection with other crimes, said Deputy Chief James Anguiano of the KU Office of Public Safety.

In the three handgun cases, according to reports, one handgun was reported at a scholarship hall, and the other two were discovered during traffic stops where the suspects also had drugs and other illegal items.
