Well, guess what. I have a CCL. And I had my sidearm on me at the parade today. And I'll admit that at one point today I thought to myself it looks like I didn't need to have my weapon with so many police here. That was before the parade. Now, we chose not to fight that crowd at union Station but if we had gone down there, at least I would have had a way to protect myself and my family. And despite what you may think most conceal carriers aren't going to shoot into a crowd. Most conceal carriers are responsible gun owners who simply want to be able to protect ourselves. And I took offense at the guy on the radio putting us in the same category as these sociopath that did this.

You misinterpreted my intent here. My point is that there are idiots everywhere, but this wasn't a drunk guy with a pistol in his belt and a quick trigger. It was a guy with a semi-automatic in a backpack.
I'm well aware that plenty of people who concealed carry are responsible with it.
