All the people I have know who have had CC permits have been the sort of people I feel safer around for having a weapon. The all knew how to use their weapon, how to draw, chamber a round, aim and fire in one motion. I hope that under pressure they would be able to replicate that which they practiced so many times. All of them said that if they drew their weapon it would be because there was an imminent threat of violence, and they would shoot to kill. It's surprising that they all had similar plans of action and had all practiced the execution of their plans in similar ways. All three of the guys went to the range often, about once a week to once a month, so as to maintain their skills.

One of the gentlemen was my boss. The downside of him carrying a gun was that if he wore his Glock, I'd get bummed by the butt several times a day. We worked in close quarters, and more then one person asked him to carry hes Walther PPK instead.
