It is 10% higher than the murder only figure.<br /><br />It is in a pdf. and gives the rate as 2.0/100,000, while the source cited in the article gives the rate as 1.8/100,000 for 2010.<br /><br />Dean Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026716292548440054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-53930431485314515902013-10-15T10:35:54.655+10:002013-10-15T10:35:54.655+10:00The first statistic is from the State of Minnesota...The first statistic is from the State of Minnesota statistics on carry permit holders. It lumps murder and manslaughter together.<br /><br />The second statistic is for murder because the manslaughter is not shown.<br /><br />You can go to the links in the article and see what was available. <br /><br />It is possible that manslaughter statistics would bump up the numbers for the general population.<br /><br />I found this website that gives somewhat different numbers, and they are a bit higher than the cited source.<br /><br />http://www.leg.state.mn.us/docs/2010/mandated/100425/Minnesota%20Milestones/www.demography.state.mn.us/milestones/indicator0ef4.html?Id=1106&G=31<br /><br />Unfortunately, they do not cover the years cited.<br /><br />Good catch.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Dean Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026716292548440054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-21765945426481858182013-10-11T00:39:47.098+10:002013-10-11T00:39:47.098+10:00Why is the first stat for murder and manslaughter ...Why is the first stat for murder and manslaughter and the second only for murder?
