I hear people on DU say those with CWP rarely use their guns to shoot others

169. Was that a response to me?

You use "you" in there.

Hmmm.

So, I gather you feel strongly about this subject. Is that so? What do you intend to do about it, personally? It seems like you have enough energy and commitment to get involved and take some action in this matter.

I have a general tip I would like to share about discussion online because I see this over and over. Try to avoid telling people what you think they think, (feel, know, believe, etc.) otherwise, it seems like you are having a conversation based on internal conflicts and not a discussion intended to gain insight and influence others. That tends to become obvious, counterproductive and might cause some people with valuable insights and opinions to avoid entering the discussion.

It helps to ask questions rather than think what others are thinking or telling them who or what they are based on a few lines or paragraphs of text. It can be more flexible and fruitful to ask, inquire more, and respond in kind based on responses.

My only response to your statement is that, to me, due process is a vital aspect to our individual rights and it trumps other issues, no matter how emotive or personal the reaction. We are at a very critical stage concerning our rights-at-large and so, while I can empathize with and agree with your overall stance and critique about CWP, you may want to consider the potential outcome of the implications of that stance, as well.

Anyway, great talking with you. It would be great if you put that energy into active measures to assure that law enforcement is more diligent and concerned about the potential problems while staying within the constrictions of Constitutional rights.
