The fact is, there is, and always will be, gray areas in these scenarios. For example:

Someone with a concealed carry permit is in a mall when a shooting occurs. They turn around and see 2 people holding guns on each other. Who's the responsible party? If they sit things out, one of them may shoot the other one - how does the late arrival know whether it's the concerned citizen, oor the original shooter, that is left standing?

How about this? A delusional or medicated CC holder "sees" someone pull out a gun, and acts on it - and it turns out to be nothing.

It's great that things haven't escalated because of concealed carry permits. But very few people have them right now. As the number of people holding them increases, so do the odds of having something go wrong, and so do the odds that someone who shouldn't have one will get one. I have no problem with people having guns, but I am nervous about people carrying them everywhere they go.
