FBI Crime Stats (AKA Why We Carry) Part II

[Guest 0down]

The official 2006 numbers are out and Memphis wins! I would like to thank all of those that have made this possible. To our incredibly effective leadership at city hall, this could not have been possible without you. To the corrupt members of our city government, you should be proud! To the people involved in thuggery and savagery on every level, it is you that make this city what it is.

The rates are per 100,000 MSA residents. Violent crimes include homicide, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. Source: 2006 Uniform Crime Reports, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

No wonder Shelby County had the highest number of Permit Applications out of the state. And people think I am strange for protecting myself and my family.

[Guest Ssmo]

Man you guys out did St. Louis on this years report. Hmm.

Its good to see permits up.

Looks like Memphis was 13 in 05.

[dariks]

Considering that I'm in Memphis right now for work, I'm glad I have my permit and gun with me.

/checks that gun is loaded

/checks that gun is loaded again

/checks that gun is loaded yet again

/yupp, thar's bullets in there

[saintsfanbrian]

Dariks - how long you here for?

[dariks]

I'm back home already. I'm frequently in Memphis though, since my wife's family lives there.

And even she doesn't like Memphis!

A few years ago Memphis was looking for a new city slogan. A good friend of mine suggested.

Memphis...We killed Martin Luther King Jr. and gave the world the Blues.

[The Rabbi]

What was that about carry permits reducing crime?

Well, over here in this neck of the woods we housed his killer

Brushy Mtn. Est. 1896

and sit on the back porch and play Bluegrass

Jimmy Martin, Freeborn Man 1957

[Guest DonRickles]

I have always been a Doc Watson/Tony Rice/Norman Blake fan myself. But Jimmy Martin was one of the originals.

Hmm, we were talking about the University of Memphis shooting/killing that happened last night, and the crime statistics came up....sad statistic, there is a small chance that the current administration could be voted out......, oh well, King Willie says this is his last run anyway.....
