Totals 128401 111620 15095 1656 226

These stats were lifted from the Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners, who pulled them from the Michigan.gov site. Another interesting set of statistics that can be found on the Mich.gov site are these (pdf file). Notice that as the number of concealed weapons increased the number of violent crime went down. Imagine that.

I hope to be 111621
