Three dozen killed per day, on average. How often are one of them a CCW permittee killing another permittee who is stranger to him?
CCW DGUs are also a numbers game. Since only a small fraction of the population is carrying at any one time, the DGUs from such a population must therefore be proportional as well.
As CCW goes up, not only should DGUs go up, so should other numbers as well.
The most effective solution to reducing violence is drug legalization, which would also have numerous positive benefits aside from reducing negative liabilities.
It's like wanting to make our democracy work better by obsessing about voter fraud while completely ignoring election fraud, our antiquated two-party system, and voter suppression efforts.
Your odds of being killed by a CCW permittee who is a stranger to you are probably worse than being killed by a shark.
