By the numbers, CCW holders are the most lawful group of adult Americans. The bloodbath the anti-gunners just knew was going to happen when millions of Americans started regularly carrying guns never happened. Part of the reason they are such good, non-law breaking Americans is that "bad guys" have a real hard time getting a CCW. If you limit sh**tty people from a group, it's going to be a better group than another that has sh**tty people in it. Which is why I voted Shall Issue.
Then why not apply the same rigour to obtaining a license for any firearm?
