   People have a fundamental right to protect themselves.  The woman   
   should not have had to ask government permission (a permit) to be   
   able to defend herself.   
      
   slate_leeper posted this earlier today:   
   "This study demonstrated no statistically significant association   
   between the liberalization of state level firearm carry legislation   
   over the last 30 years and the rates of homicides or other violent   
   crime. Policy efforts aimed at injury prevention and the reduction of   
   firearm-related violence should likely investigate other targets for   
   potential intervention."
