problem I'd be surprised if anyone can produce cites that demonstrate
anything, although I'm certainly fond of the ones that seem to indicate that
right to carry states tend to have lower crime rates... although it's a
tough comparision, no two states (or no two years for the same state) are
the same sort of apple.

fact that he burned his hands boiling water in them though.)
