More gun nuts, less crime?

Snowflakes in Hell notes that during the week of the NRA convention, Charlotte experienced a 45% drop in criminal activity, compared to the same week a year before. Someday I'll check out a few other cities that hosted conventions in past years, and see if anyone keeps records like that.

I believe that some of the Phoenix-area bloggers have been trying to get this info out of their PD since the weeks following the convention. I don't think they've been successful. Considering all the officers anyone I know talked to said they hadn't had any problems at all, I imagine the numbers speak in our favor.
