In a piece run across the country, New York Times reporter Mike Luo cherry-picks anecdotes, misrepresents data, and ignores contradictions to smear North Carolina’s concealed handgun permit-holders as rife with criminals. What follows comes partly from questions I posed during his interview of me.

 

Luo matched data between our concealed handgun permit (CHP) and criminal record databases, producing “more than” 2,400 claimed matches, including “more than” 200 alleged felons. Yet that leaves 2,200 convicted of misdemeanors, many of which wouldn’t disqualify permit applicants. Bearing in mind that nobody has seen his data, Luo’s “criminals” could be guilty of offenses like “Hazing,” “Stealing Dairy Crates,” “Theft of Cable TV,” or even (perish the thought) “Taking Sea Oats From Land Of Another.”

What's he afraid of?
