A recent USA Today article discussed pending legislation on the open carrying of holstered handguns. It also afforded the Brady Campaign’s president an opportunity to display his knowledge of the situation:
Says Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which opposes open-carry laws: "We don't want more people carrying guns either openly or concealed because the more guns you have in a situation, the more likely you are to get gun violence." [Emphasis added]
The following series examines various government datasets to test Helmke’s “more guns, more violence” theory.

Please email me the spreadsheet, I'd like to use it to update my website. I have graphed Brady scores vs. FBI violent crime at rideronthestorm-armed.angelfire.com

Excellent work! It is time more people like you begin to challenge the integrity and purpose of the Brady Campaign.
No one can honestly say the Brady Campaign has a genuine interest in reducing violence when the facts continue to prove their ideas only make America a more dangerous place.
If the Brady Campaign REALLY wanted less violence in America they would change their tactics to promote gun rights rather than trying to take them away.
Well police stations and gun shows should be real violent places acoording to Brady. NOT
