And to think, Chicago's homicide rate is at a 56-year LOW this year. What changed? Concealed carry was legalized.

Chicago's crime has been decreasing for years. Not every year, but the trend since 2000 has been undeniable. http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Ch ... inois.html

Looks to me like an upward blip in 2012 murders might be just as responsible for what otherwise seems to be a big decrease in 2013 murders.

I'm gratified that I'm safer from violent crime now than I was as a child.
