Fact is, there are VERY few incidents involving firearms misuse by licensed
concealed-carry permit holders. Most of the phallocephalics out there
waving handguns are not licensed to carry them. The other end of the
spectrum is my other home, England, where you can go to prison for shooting
a home-invader, even if he has a record for rape and murder and has broken
into your home. >>
