^agreed^ You can't get rid of crime, but a criminal will feel much more comfortable commiting a crime with no CC than where it is allowed. One problem I have with the CC laws is all the buildings that place the "no firearms allowed" signs. It's pretty hard to go anywhere without seeing those signs, so it seems pretty useless for me to get my permit if I can't carry my sidearm anywhere. And it's not like that sign makes the place safer in any way...really if I wanted to rob a place I would look for a store with that sign tp target.
