Oooops! I hope this guy has his resume updated:
Detroit Police Chief James Craig has an idea for fighting crime — arm more citizens.
"When we look at the good community members who have concealed weapons permits, the likelihood they’ll shoot is based on a lack of confidence in this police department,” said the chief at a press conference this week, the Detroit News reports.
Well, now. What brought about this fit of common sense? Answer: experience:
"I got to Maine, where they give out lots of CCWs (carrying concealed weapon permits), and I had a stack of CCW permits I was denying; that was my orientation," Craig said. "I changed my orientation real quick. Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.”
Craig said on a radio show in mid-December that there are a number of people in Detroit with concealed pistol licenses (CPL), and he thinks it's a deterrent to crime.
"Good Americans with CPLs translates into crime reduction," said Craig. "I learned that real quick in the state of Maine.”
A lib who learns from experience? Particularly turning against one of the core sacraments of the Marxist faith? Sounds like a neocon to me.
Almost. Chief Craig still buys the "assault weapon" strawman. But I don't think that'll save his job; if anything does, it'll be because it's highly unlikely that anybody else will want it.
