Thank you for your reply.    Your statement regarding crime rate reduction is
interesting.... Can anybody cite sources on  that?   And  how do they  separate  that
effect from other causal factors  for violent crime?   It seems intuitive that CCW  would
reduce crime as you say but I imagine there are a  lot of factors.

Honestly, I don't know how realistic the risk is or not.   I have  lived most of my
life in  very low crime areas (in states which, BTW, concealed carry was not legal or very
 limited  until recently) and frankly  haven't  thought a lot  about this risk until 
today.  It seems  likely to me so far (admittedly just  from Googling around this morning)
 that cases are underreported relative to, for example, traffic  fatalities.  And of
course with  any data-driven decision, the affirmative steps  I can take  to reduce my
personal  risk are a significant  factor that  tells a  more important story than  the raw
stats.  I can  drive safely.  I can avoid  walking alone in strange  neighborhoods at 
night.   But  I have no  control over CCW holder behavior and  no good strategy  to avoid
its consequences.  

It's striking to  me that, on  the  one hand, people who seem  knowledgeable are
coming  into this thread  calling  the  woman an idiot.   Yet  in every news article 
I've read so  far about the  incident, it is stated that she grew up around guns, had
lifelong  familiarity with them,  and was described  as being a  responsible gun owner by 
a number of quoted  sources, including the  husband who gave her  the handbag for
Christmas.  So there  doesn't appear to be  consensus on what constitutes a
"responsible" gun owner.  


Finally, regarding your last paragraph,  are  there  any reliable statistics on the
utility of  CCW in aiding the unarmed?  That also  strikes  me as a rare  event.

Thanks  again for  reading.
