In large part this is due to the incr3easing number of states that are aligning with the constitution as it relates to the right to keep and bare arms not being infringed. In other words, more states are changing their laws to "allow" their law abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms in order to defend themselves. Remember; an armed society is a polite society. Criminals don't want a population that can defend itself. They want a population of easy victims. An armed citizen is not an easy victim.

9:44 the key is "violent" crime. It is in fact down. BUT...Wicomico County is literally being eaten up with thefts. Thefts of everything. Thefts of copper, bicycles, fishing equipment, EVERYTHING. So much so that local law enforcement can't keep up and priority is being given to crimes with higher price tags.
