Your arguments fall way short, son. you are obviously a clock puncher, and never owned a business. When some gun toting moron decides to get into a shootout to defend himself, it is the business owner who will pay dearly when the gun toting moron shoots some innocent victim, which is exactly what happened here in Lakeland Florida about a month ago. Some gun toting moron thought the "bad guy" was getting into a get-a-way car, so he shot the driver. Since the gun toting moron wasn't trained he didn't realize the "bad guy" was attempting a car jacking, so of course some innocent woman got shot. Go to the arcade and play good guys-bad guys with your wild west fantasies, so the public at large are not threatened by clowns like you.

First, your use of the term "gun toting moron" is utterly insulting. The statistics regarding CCW carriers speak for themselves. They are not "gun toting morons" and your use of the term betrays your underlying disgust for something you obviously do not understand.

Second, humans, INCLUDING POLICE AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TRAINED IN THE USE OF HANDGUNS regularly kill innocents. There dozens of articles each year about police killing people with cell-phones, car keys, etc. in their hands. There are similar quantities of articles documenting TRAINED POLICE who are truly gun toting morons killing innocent residents in no-knock and other para-military raids.

Your Lakeland Florida story is a sad but ancedotal story that can not be used as a legal precedent. This was not the outcome when a deranged man drove through the window at a Luby's in Waco, Tx and killed 23 people. The management there now dearly wishes that some of its patrons had been armed. But you clearly have an agenda and in you self-righteous, self-enlightened arrogance look down your all knowing nose and call any civilian carry and side-arm as a gun toting moron. That is the language of liberals.
