You don't need to post "RIP" and leave, but the only thing you did post was "CCW please", and you are the champion of this cause in any gun thread discussion. You were portraying this as an excuse for allowing CCW. I'm saying that's a load of BS.

Are you implying that by implementing a CCW system, the killer would be more inclined to use this system instead of using a knife? If you want a gun, and you're a criminal, you can get one regardless of CCW or not. I don't see the relation between implementing CCW and the people on the bus thinking the attacker could have a gun.

In the hands of the average citizen I would agree. But because there is far to high a percentage of society that would be incapable of responsible ownership/use (ie, USA) I would argue that things would become a lot more dangerous.

Check the stats on CCW permits in the US. people who apply for them are responsible gun owners and abide all local and federal laws. These are the people you want having guns. Gun violence in the US is brought on by criminals, not those with CCW permits.
