(6,324 posts)Here in NC non-ccw holders kill people at a rate 5x what CCW holders do.
Despite all the chicken little hysteria about blood in the streets, being out to kill, etc. the fact is that if you don't have a CCW, and I do, you are statistically 5x more likely to wrongfully kill somebody with a gun if we both live in NC.
CCW holders also are far less likely to commit any other violent crimes, and even far less likely to get a DUI, than non CCW holders.
Here in NC a CCW holder has a duty to report, meaning if a law enforcement officer contacts them they must state they have a CCW and are carrying. Ask any NC LEO and you will 99% get the same answer- they get less worried when they get notified, because they know it is a person without a criminal history who takes pains to follow and respect the law. I know that is how I was when I was a cop. CCW holder= good guy unless they do something to show otherwise.
So you anti CCW folks keep up with your delusions that CCW holders are all out to kill and are murders. Don't let facts get in your way. But know when you say such things in a political setting, people who are educated on the subject see you running on pure emotion and ignorance and are less likely to believe anything else you say. It is why gun control is a losing subject for Democrats here in the south as well.
