But that's what worries me. I can readily see the value in CCW for personal protection. But in situations like this, or the Denver movie theater, I see a different problem. One person with a permit sees the shooter start, pulls his weapon and fires. Someone else with a permit yells, OMG there are two of them and fires at the wrong guy. And someone else sees that and starts firing. That's why LEOs have those vests with POLICE or FBI boldly printed. Hard to know who is the enemy sometimes. There is some rationale to restricting where you can carry.
