360. Please, point out a post where ANYBODY on this forum has stated...
...that CC holders are all "unfailingly persons of saint-like virtue" or even anything close to somebody saying that NO CC holders will commit any crimes. You do that, and I'll not think you're full of it.

As for CC holders being "slightly less likely" to kill than other gun owners, you're simply wrong. CCW holders are significantly less likely to commit a crime in general than the average citizen, but if you want to restrict yourself to just killings, you need only to look to the stats on the OP to see the murder rate of CCW holders over the last 2 years. It is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the general populations, per capita.

Here's an interesting stat from Florida:
221,443 concealed carry licenses were issued in Florida between October of 1987 and April of 1994. During that time, Florida recorded 18 crimes committed by licensees with firearms. Source: http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp (they site the original source for the info on that page).
