Letter to Editor of Fort Collins Coloradoan |

On Sunday, February 20, 2000, the Fort Collins Coloradoan
printed 4 articles with an anti-gun slant, in addition to a list of all the people who obtained Larimer County Concealed Handgun Permits since July 4, 1999. My letter-to-the-editor enumerates why I think this was a bad idea, and some of the unintended consequences it might cause. |

| Concealed Weapons Prevent Crime |
real-life |
| topic: |
Letter to Editor of Fort Collins Coloradoan |
|
I am writing in response to Cherie Trine's "Soapbox" column on September 12, 1999 in which she
expressed concerns about the safety of allowing some citizens to carry concealed handguns. It may seem paradoxical, but the right-to-carry
concealed handguns is a significant deterrent to violent crime, and produces no increase in accidental deaths. |
