This is over 4 years old and I don't know if it's been posted before.
I just found it and decided it share it because I've been hearing people say that the Kennesaw, GA law requiring all households to have a firearm (assuming no moral or legal reason not to) hasn't had any effect on crime in the city.

There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men. - RAH
Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo - use in that order.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

Re: Kennesaw bank robbery
That law was made unenforceable intentionally by it's wording and lack of punitive measures. It was a political statement in response to Morton Grove, Illinois banning firearms. Kennesaw has a population too small to quantify effects.
I do like seeing reports of thwarted crimes, though. Even older crimes.

Re: Kennesaw bank robbery
In 1982 when the law was passed Kennesaw had a population of about 9,000.
Currently its population is over 33,000.
