Here's a surprising revelation....

CCW Permits up in Colorado

Maketa said he's not concerned about the county's growing number of legally armed people. In fact, he said he believes law-abiding citizens make the region safer by getting the permits.

"Actually, I wish it was a higher number, because I know from experience that offenders in the jail system tell me they avoid crimes against people because they know there is a very high concealed-carry rate," Maketa said.

I'm SHOCKED, absolutely shocked I tell ya. I can't believe criminals actually avoid areas where good people are armed because they worry about getting shot!
