We'll see what happens however every other "prediction" of groups like the Brady Campaign have been absolutely wrong. People in groups like that claimed there would blood all over the streets when the first states started issuing concealed carry permits. It never happened. Violent crime rates decreased in those states. Now just about every state has a concealed carry law for law abiding citizens. The way I see it is police and law abiding citizens that can get permits have the law abiding part in common. If a 19 year old kid with no criminal record can be trusted with a gun, so can an adult with no criminal record. The difference is the adult with the CCW permit doesn't cost the taxpayer a dime. The police officer costs the taxpayer $70,000 to $100,000 a year, maybe more.
