people with a CCW permit actually exercise that right. I know several people with the permit that don't actually carry a concealed weapon, or at least do so rarely. They also keep their guns in a safe at home. I know several retired cops who don't need CCW permits to carry in public. They too almost never do and keep their guns locked up at home. I would bet the vast majority of CCW holders almost never actually conceal carry in public. All of that makes most of your points moot.

If what you say is true, than concealed carry itself is moot. Loudly Dec 2012 #15

Wow. What do you suggest Jenoch Dec 2012 #16
