Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who’s been on the job since July of last year, started blowing minds this week by telling anyone who would listen that law-abiding citizens who possess concealed carry permits — and the pistols to accompany them — make for wonderfully effective crime deterrents.
Craig spoke at a press conference Thursday, telling reporters he once believed in gun control.

After all, why would bad guys want to increase the probability that their victims are capable of matching force with force? From Detroit News column.
