Lots of gun owners (about 1/2 the households) but much fewer active shooters.

For some getting the CCW is a statement nothing more, some carry daily, Zimmerman style. There is no way to know.

Given the ambiguity in some states laws, having one is about the best way to stay out of trouble, even if the only place you carry is to/from a range.

CCW is like aspirin or other OTC painkiller. Many people have in their kit but use only when needed. jody Dec 2012 #3
