Open carry has been legal in Kentucky for many years, concealed for only about eighteen. When concealed carry was voted in our newspaper (a very good one till it was bought by Gannett) forecast blood in the gutters, mass slaughter of innocent bystanders, etc.

A year later they did a follow-up, and to their credit told the truth. Which was that CCW license holders were arrested less often for any offense, violent or not, than the general population. They might have figured out sooner that we are the law-abiding ones carrying guns, but they had to be shown.

I was pleased that they had enough integrity to publish their findings.
