No thankfully, since CCW holders are statistically more accurate, fire less shots in encounters, and commit less crime than the US police (by convictions), who barely even get convicted due to qualified immunity which CCW holders don’t have.
Probably because CCW often requires getting a permit that demands actual knowledge of safe handling, storage, de-escalation and demonstrated ability to hit a target, in some kind of half-assed approximation of functional gun laws (which I guess is why the pro-gun community opposes CCW permits).
Of course, that doesn’t stop them from routinely executing their partners or any nearby cashiers when they lose control of their emotions, leaving their guns in public toilets or arming criminals by leaving handguns in sock drawers and gloveboxes.
And unlike police reforms, they also have zero positive, measurable impact on crime rates, so they’re really asking a lot from society in return for intervening in 3% of mass shootings (and always after people have been killed already).
Is anyone who becomes law enforcement falling for hero fantasies?
Or fantasies of being judge, jury, and executioner.
Which differs from “I bought a gun to kill anyone who tries to break into my suburban home and steal my iPad” how exactly?
But I don’t want to be Judge Judy and executioner!
Pretty sure nowadays they are power and domination fantasies.
Do all gun owners in America work in law enforcement?

The ones who last do, yeah. All the good ones I’ve met are ex-police.
But they became police in the first place, meaning they fell for the hero fantasies.

So then who can defend you from an attack?

Of course, so maybe you should be able to defend yourself?
