OP, what about the CCW holder in Michigan who fired indiscriminately at shoplifters in a crowded Home Depot parking lot? Not even the security personnel thought it was prudent to fire at the suspect in a CROWDED parking lot.  Luckily, the police arrested HER and she was charged with reckless endangerment.  During my cert training, the instructor spent a lot time telling us that drawing the weapon is the last resort and should actually be avoided at all cost.  So, yea, I would not want to be shopping with my kids and have some bozo draw their weapon to fire at a shoplifter.

Besides that, I thought that statistically, open carry was a bigger crime deterrent under the theory that the criminal can see that folks are carrying. At least, that is what the NRA literature said.  LOL

Is it worth accidentally shooting some innocent bystander in the head just because some thug is trying to run off with a shoplifted $20 item?  Is human life in America really so worthless that we'd throw lives away for $20?[/quote]

No, it's about being able to protect yourself from the typical young men who think nothing of taking another human being's life.

LMAO!  Yeah, and you think you're protecting yourself from them with concealed carry out there in the hinterlands of America.  Gangsta thugs are hidin' out behind the sagebrush in Wyoming, yo!  Gangsta thugs gonna jump yo ass as you leave the Old Country Buffet out in suburban Ohio![/quote]

PP here. No one in our family has ever had a gun (other than a long ago hunting rifle), and I'm not planning to ever have one. I also try to avoid times and situations where crimes usually occur in our city. Your attempt at humor, however, does not change the fact that there are places where it would be helpful if someone other than criminals and in your words "gangsta thugs" had a weapon.[/quote]

Um, that's why we have cops.[/quote]

Yes, and it's so reassuring to know that there are enough of them to protect us whenever needed, as in the recent situation where a man was brutally beaten with no one to help him.[/quote]

Yeah well there are 500 times more civilian gun owners than there are cops and obviously none of them stepped up to help him.  So much for the idea of the country being so much safer with "good guys with guns" to intervene...[/quote]
