And doing something/anything just to be proactive, does not always work out well either. I am not one that believes that a bad deal is better than NO deal.
This part not in reply to your comment:
The best way to resolve this issue is to allow good people to be armed to protect us from bad people. There are not enough cops to go around so that everyone can have their own personal security. Protect yourself. If others are scared of you because you are able to protect yourself, that is their problem. Actually, it makes it less likely that you will ever have to resort to using your protection. You are not going to eliminate crime in the U.S. or the world but you can lessen/limit the damage. If a nut job starts shooting up the place, and a person with CCW intervenes, then the damage is limited.
Would you take guns away from COPS? Away from the military? Where do you think they get their members? They don't clone them. They get their members from the population. Just regular people doing their best to protect us. Some of you are scared of your neighbor carrying concealed. How do you know that he isn't former military or former law enforcement or both? How many CCWs have you seen or heard of that injured someone by accident? How many do you think are living in the villages? If you knew, you would probably hide in your home and never leave.
Do some research before making false claims about gun ownership and crime. How many crimes are committed using a car? Perhaps if we got rid of the cars, it would lessen the amount of robberies, drive by shootings, mass murders?
