very true criminals will do as they please, but when you allow everyone else to carry a gun to protect themselves what makes you think they will have the control to not go flashing it around at anyone that doesnt let them have their way.
I've seen crime stats and something like 1/10 of 1% of permit holders have had their permits revoked and something like single digits percentages of them are because of violent crimes or firearms related things.
This is the only stat I could find that was readily available.
Permit holders are a remarkably law-abiding subclass of the population. Florida, which has issued over 1,346,000 permits in twenty years, has revoked only 165 for a "crime after licensure involving a firearm," and fewer than 4200 permits for
any reason.
