3) We are less likely, not more likely, to be involved in fights or "rage" incidents than the general public. We recognize, better than many unarmed citizens, that we are responsible for our actions. We take the responsibility of carrying a firearm very seriously. We know that loss of temper, getting into fights or angrily confronting someone after a traffic incident could easily escalate into a dangerous situation. We are more likely to go out of our way to avoid these situations. We don't pull our guns to settle arguments or to attempt to threaten people into doing what we want.
Jack, I am sure that MOST of the gun carry permit holders are "good guys" BUT the two incidents that happened (lady shooting her husband and guy showing his weapon to get a parking space) WERE BOTH gun carry permit holders. One was even former LEO.
