Not true responsible, legal citizens cannot have guns in these areas leaving only the criminals to get them. And the criminals don't care about the proper, legal process of getting a concealed weapon permit. If you make it legal for people to privately carry and defend themselves, the crime rate will drop. There are statistics proving this: http://www.humanevents.com/2009/01/26/concealed-carry-permits-are-life-savers/
"But since adopting a concealed carry law Florida’s total violent crime rate has dropped 32% and its homicide rate has dropped 58%. Floridians, except for criminals, are safer due to this law. And Florida is not alone. Texas’ violent crime rate has dropped 20% and homicide rate has dropped 31%, since enactment of its 1996 carry law."
