(33,982 posts)Not one. I know at least 15 people with permits, and this is also an open carry state. None of them carry LOOKING for trouble. Finding such trouble is hazardous to your freedom, and even in a totally justified shooting, can cost you everything, your job, your home, etc.
"If our Forefathers could have foreseen a fully automatic assault rifle with armor piercing bullets that can rip through a classroom of kids in less then a minute then our constitution would be much different."
I don't suppose you can point to a single shooting where that occurred?
(By the way, getting shot with AP is generally less damaging than normal rounds, because the bullet will pass through without expanding, and will therefore do less damage because it won't impart as much energy in the body)
(also, there existed a 20 shot rifle the year the 2nd Amendment was ratified. Read of the lewis and clark expedition to see it used in the field. Girandoni Repeating Rifle)
