Jim, NYC already IS full of concealed weapons, and they are NOT carried by law abiding citizens. In states with laws that allow any law abiding citizen to get a permit to carry, a VERY small percentage avail themselves of that privilege. The impact on crime, however, is huge, probably because to criminals don't know who is carrying and who is not. There has not been ONE incident of people with a legal permit getting into a gun fight at a youth sports event (or anywhere else). That claim is fear mongering, pure and simple.

Use logic and facts, not fear and emotion.
