It is of course possible to go on and on, but you get the point. Holding a permit does not mean you won't be misuse a firearm.
Full disclosure: I am a CCW holder. Sometimes I carry. Sometimes I do not. I also live in an area of very low crime, but did not always (which is why I got my permit in the first place). |
Same can be said about cops too, there are bad people in every form of life.
