Here is where I read the statistic, from Gail Collins, NYT columnist:
"Recently the Michigan House of Representatives passed and sent to the governor a bill that, among other things, makes it easy for people to carry concealed weapons in schools. After the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday, a spokesman for House Speaker Jase Bolger said that it might have meant “the difference between life and death for many innocent bystanders.” This is a popular theory of civic self-defense that discounts endless evidence that in a sudden crisis, civilians with guns either fail to respond or respond by firing at the wrong target. "
I will try to substantiate this evidence, but Collins is a very credible journalist.
BTW as a MI resident, I am ashamed of MI legislature and have notified Gov. Snyder I won't be voting for him if he signs this law into effect.
