I always looked at folks carrying a sidearm in a visable holster as law abidding sorts straight away. If the same sidearm was properly conceiled per a CHL argeement (while the 2nd is ignored by law) then the issue should never bear fruit until either a crime or an act of self defense occurs.......
Gang violence or not crimes against persons are high because coyotes dwell where there are lots of rabbits. Polidiots such as the Falls Church sort makes more rabbits with unconstitutional laws that reflect their own personal fears and fantisies. Doom on em for keeping their folks in such a hazardous position with their misguided efforts to keep em safe.
