What you also don&#x27;t see is the 11 million plus with concealed carry licenses, and those in the states of Maine, Vermont, Arkansas, Kansas, Arizona, Wyoming, and Alaska who don&#x27;t need a permit, abusing their guns in public to any serious degree.  The Violence Policy center did their best in a paper titled &quot;Concealed Carry Killers&quot;, and I and some other research minions helped Supreme Court cited scholar Clayton Cramer demolish it.<p>Pearl clutchers have warned us of &quot;blood in the streets!&quot; and &quot;Dodge City!&quot; every time a state switched to shall issue licensing.  Well, there are now 45 shall issue states, holding more than 2&#x2F;3rd of the population, and its never happened, history does <i>not</i> show what you claim.  Sure, there are occasional bad incidents (the VPC paper <i>did</i> find a few) ... but if in <i>this</i> HN topic you&#x27;re going to claim police are the acme of responsible gun use, we&#x27;re not living in the same reality.
