We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. When debating CCW, I'm not going to be able to take " well they have it in America" as a persuasive point.
I understand that allowing CCW doesn't mean everybody gets a pistol in the mail. All I'm saying is that if I get into a situation where I'm among a group of panicked, untrained civilians all running frantically, I'd rather somebody not be carrying a handgun.

After every story about police taking down a dangerous assailant with a gun, I see comments like "oh he should have shot him in the leg or arm to disarm him".

I agree completely. The accuracy of even trained professionals in situations that require the use of a gun is staggeringly low. I'd rather not be in a crazy situation and see Mike from Canmore pull out a desert eagle.
