    Killings by Concealed Handgun Permit Holders Top 200, One-Third of Incidents Involved Family Violence––VPC Concealed Carry Killers September Update

    WASHINGTON - September 30 - Concealed handgun permit holders have killed at least 202 individuals since May 2007 with 34 percent of the killings involving family violence according to the September update of Concealed Carry Killers, a Violence Policy Center (VPC) on-line resource that tallies news reports of killings by concealed handgun permit holders. The update comes one day before the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October.

    Forty-two of the 122 incidents involved family violence. Of these, 29 involved intimate partner violence. Fifteen of the 42 family violence incidents ended in murder-suicide, accounting for 65 percent (15 of 23) of all the murder-suicides committed by concealed handgun permit holders tallied by the VPC to date.

    The VPC reviews and tallies concealed handgun permit holder killings primarily as reported by news outlets.


    I'd like to see domestic shootings by police officers for example to compare it with.

    Someone should do a study and determine what percentage of anti-gun nuts are responsible for innocent people being killed due to their anti-self defense laws and regulations. I guarantee you it will be a whole hell of a lot more than 10% or something.
