What you also don'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't need a permit, abusing their guns in public to any serious degree. The Violence Policy center did their best in a paper titled "Concealed Carry Killers", and I and some other research minions helped Supreme Court cited scholar Clayton Cramer demolish it. Pearl clutchers have warned us of "blood in the streets!" and "Dodge City!" every time a state switched to shall issue licensing. Well, there are now 45 shall issue states, holding more than 2/3rd of the population, and its never happened, history does not show what you claim. Sure, there are occasional bad incidents (the VPC paper did find a few) ... but if in this HN topic you're going to claim police are the acme of responsible gun use, we're not living in the same reality.
