Persons with Permits to Carry a Concealed Handgun have been shown to be among the most honest citizens in this Country--the Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave.There are no statistics that indicate increased threat from the presence of CHP holders.Many of these Permit Holders are military veterans or former police officers.All have been fingerprinted & have passed an FBI background check & must show competence with a handgun.Restricting honest citizens from their rights only helps to put criminals into a better position. Mass shootings don't occur where armed citizens are present, but where there are soft targets.More restrictions on honest persons does not increase safety. More laws & larger government is not beneficial for "the Land of the Free."
