“In Kennesaw, Georgia, local law says that ‘every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm.’The violent crime rate is below two percent all these years later.
"‘If you're going to commit a crime in Kennesaw and you're the criminal -- are you going to take a chance that that homeowner is a law-abiding citizen?’ asked Kennesaw Mayor Derek Easterling."
Dispatches from Kennesaw
I passed by Kennesaw, Georgia last night on my way home from the Dropkick Murphys concert near Atlanta. (If you have the opportunity, they put on a great live show.) It's now a full-fledged suburb of Atlanta, not the quiet little town it was when it first adopted the law described in this article.
