That hasn&#8217;t stopped groups like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vpc.org\/press\/1502ccw.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Violence Policy Center from doing everything in their power to portray permit holders as killers<\/a> and wild cowboys with itchy trigger fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Just as a bad cop is an exception to the norm, so too is a concealed carry holder that commits murder. Unfortunately, we in North Carolina now have one of those exceptions. A 62-year old man who held a NC Concealed Handgun Permit killed one person, wounded another, and killed the wounded woman&#8217;s unborn child. He then killed himself. The murder-suicide reportedly stemmed from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starnewsonline.com\/article\/20150207\/ARTICLES\/150209757\/1177?p=2&amp;tc=pg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a business dispute according to local papers.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncgunblog.com\/2015\/02\/10\/gunsense-gun-haters-finally-concealed-carry-killer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sean Sorrentino has much more detail and commentary<\/a> on the incident. I&#8217;d suggest going there to learn more about this story.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is that it is a sad thing all around but that it is an exceptional one. And being exceptional, it is not reflective on concealed carry holders nor concealed carry in general. Even the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/local\/ct-concealed-carry-one-year-met-20150203-story.html#page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Tribune concedes this point<\/a> noting that it has been a quiet first year after Illinois finally got shall-issue concealed carry.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holders of concealed carry permits have been shown to be more law-abiding than law enforcement officers over the years.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[158,2007,104],"class_list":["post-1429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-concealed-carry","tag-crime","tag-north-carolina"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1429"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10208,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429\/revisions\/10208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
