I find it disrespectful that you would even say such a thing. There is nothing to say that just because a person has a cc permit they are going to save the world and stop all acts of gun violence. Who is to say those individuals would have chose to carry a weapon? Who is to say that more people wouldn't have ended up dead? If you want to carry a gun fine, but don't act like because you do, that you're going to save the world.

Where is this claim "to save the world'? Your obvious distaste for legal cc permit holders is coming through.

No, the arguement is not that cc will "stop all acts of gun violence" but added to the mix the potential to stop a violent attack would increase. Had the illegal gunman known that cc was legal and possible, perhaps he would not have acted as he did.

I don't know if the individuals would have chosen to cary a ccw. But the illegal gunman knew that the victims could not carry a cw according to law.

As far as more people ending up dead, I can't see into the future. But, if the students had been able to carry cc who's to say that they may not have died? Can you?

I absolutely agree with you. Just look at Texas for an example of how concealed weapons have lowered the armed robbery rate when introduced. Obviously, would be criminals thought twice before attempting to rob someone that might be able to fight back.

I have no "distaste" for cc permit holders. I could really careless, if it's legal and you do it, go for it. All I am saying is I highly doubt more people carrying guns is going to reduce instinces like this one. I don't necessarily think it will increase instinces either. Those who are willing to go get their permit usually aren't the people you have to watch out for.

Of course your entitled to your opinion, however the facts show that ccw has reduced violent crime.
