There are currently 12.8 million CCW licenses in the United States. Concealedcarrykillers.org reports 696 incidents involving CCW individuals. That is .005% of this population. I am not too concerned about individuals with a CCW. You should not be either. Your car or the car of someone you know is much more likely to take you out.
