(17,493 posts)as statistics from states like Florida and Texas prove that those who have carry permits are far more honest and responsible than those who don't.
Of course you will point out the Trayvon Martin shooting and claim that everybody who legally carries is a cop wanna-be or a vigilante. The main stream media will support your view as they hate concealed carry probably because they are centered in gun unfriendly states.
The fact is that Zimmerman was an aberration and not at all representative of people with a carry permit. In Florida only 168 concealed carry permits have been revoked for a crime committed after the permit was issued since "shall issue" concealed carry passed in 1987. In that time frame 2,307,881 permits have been issued. Of course this fact is rarely mentioned by the main stream media as it doesn't agree with its agenda. You will probably dismiss this fact as another NRA talking point but the reality is that it is factual.

You often accuse those who legally carry as being afraid of leaving their home without strapping on their carry weapon but I will suggest to you that you suffer from a unrealistic fear of those who legally carry.
I suggest you focus your dislike on those who illegally carry a firearm as they do so with evil intentions.
I should note that I enjoy replying to your posts as they offer me the opportunity to support legal concealed carry. Let those who read our back and forth make their own opinions.
