I just read the article and there is some great misinformation stated on the behalf of gun control. They stated there are too many occurrences where permit holders used their weapons on each other including police officers. I would challenge that and include what is the overall crime rate where CPL's are shall issue over when they where no issue or may issue. Every since Florida passed shall issue and the castle doctrine the move in America has moved rapidly forward because people saw how much of an effect it had to detour crime......just sayin....
There have been occurrences in the past where a license/permit holder shot/killed police officers. IIRC, there was an incident in Pa not long ago--don't recall the details. I'm sure that at some time or another, a couple of permit holders may have went at it, but I have not heard of any such shootouts.
The Anti's and the Media do not concern themselves with the positive effects of the mere citizenry carrying guns, only the negative. There has always been and will be people who fall through the cracks in life: Doctor's, Lawyers, Police Officers, Folks with licenses/permits to carry, etc. A persons mental state really does not change because he or she obtains a license/permit to carry, IMO. A
wacko is a
wacko even after obtaining a license/permit. It may mask the mental state for a while, but the person is still a
wacko underneath it all.
