Looking for help on a college assignment.

Hello,
I am putting together a short presentation on CCW permitees stopping violence and facts regarding ccw permitees in general. The instructor sounds like an anti and links/videos would be appreciated. Thanks.

Quick google search came up with these:

Best places to look for the actual data are the sources of various papers and studies.

Go to youtube and search "armed citizen", "self defense" or similar. Lots of videos to choose from.

Might be interesting to compare crime rates of CCW holders with those of police officers.

Spoiler alert: while the data isn't perfect, it strongly suggests that CCWs commit fewer crimes than police officers.

Washington post recently did an article where it gave several examples in recent years. Google it

I'm disappointed no one suggested my list of now 165+ CCW incidents linked in my sig line (161 are on the first page of the thread, more added on the 2nd).

If your instructor is an anti, don't expect a grade > C, no matter how good it really is.
Seriously consider another topic if your grades are important to you.
If you can't change the topic, then I would take the anti side, in order to say what the instructor wants to hear.

If he's an 'Anti' then try out some of Bill Whittle's videos.....

If you don't know how to debate properly, or aren't quick on your feet, this presentation could quickly spiral into a heated debate with your class / instructor and your grade will suffer.

yer better off discussing the benefits of boob jobs for women
