Detroit police chief: ‘No question in my mind’ legal gun ownership deters crime
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Wednesday, July 16, 2014
Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies than it did last year, and Police Chief James Craig is crediting
armed citizens for the drop.
“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Chief Craig,
who has been an open advocate for private gun ownership, the Detroit News reported. “I don’t want to take away
from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular,
is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed.
“I can’t say what specific percentage is caused by this, but there’s no question in my mind it has had an effect,”
he added.
In addition to the drop in robberies, Detroit has seen 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes and
30 percent fewer carjackings in 2014 than during the same period last year, the Detroit News reported.
Chief Craig said, however, that he doesn’t believe gun ownership deters criminals from attacking other criminals.
“They automatically assume another criminal is carrying,” he said. “I’m talking about criminals who are thinking
of robbing a citizen; they’re less likely to do so if they think they might be armed.”
