"How does a store owner distinguish between a "serious CC holder" and a wannabe Wyatt Earp?
Take a bank for example. Most banks have extensive security plans premised on getting the bad guys out of the bank as quickly as possible. What happens to that plan when a customer decides that shooting it out with the bad guys is the better option?"
Most of CC Permit holders are serious about what they do and who they want to defend. They are not going to walk into a businnes or bank or mall with the will and intent to kill. Wyatt Earp or not... I would even rather have the Wyatt Earp in the bank when the criminal decides to come in and rob and shoot a teller and have everyone lay down on the floor...becuase guess what...nobody else is going to defend your life.
ALL CC permits holders have had instruction in NC anyway on the laws that even include instruction of the law of stray bullets. I know I can go to prison if my stray bullet kills and innocent person. Four hours of the class is on the law.
I would however like to VERY RESPECTFULLY disagree with the statement about the banks having extensive security plans to remove the bad guys. Every picture and film I have ever witnessed of a bank robbery have NEVER show any bank doing anything about it. I don't see them wanding the criminals when they come in, I don't see trained security guards taking the criminal down for arrest,,,the criminal always gets out of the building> I promise you if you are a bank teller, or someone at a mall when the shooting breaks out and the gun is pointed at you,or a businees owner and you are being robbed.. you will wish one of us would have been around.
These people that do these thing have no reguard for your life, your employees life, your wifes life, or your families life. They know where guns are not allowed. Alot of criminals just shoot someone in the leg becuase they know they will get a lesser time in jail. Alot don't care and shoot to kill...
So as a store owner...I would never keep CC permit holders out...
CC Permit holders for the majority ...are ex military, retired law enforcement, or trraind civilians. Criminals don't care...They enter to steal and rob and kill if they fell like it...
At least I know I have the ability to protect myself and others and have the right to do so now in NC...
As for you... I feel you have the right to believe whatever you want to....
