you find that about half of people killed are injured with firearms know the person who assaulted them. CC makes no difference in this situation It very well can. Someone who know you, but dislikes you enough, or is angry enough to kill you, can be deterred or stopped by you being armed. And your more likely to be armed if you have the right to carry concealed. And even if that wasn't true, there is the other half, and yes many of those are drug/gang related, but far from all of them. Also if you add drug and/or gang related murders, with murders involving people who know each other, your double counting a lot of murders. The combined percentage is lower than what you would get from simply adding the two because many drug/gang murders involved people who know each other.
