The people who got the permits under the may issue system were; rich people (cause rich people are better than everyone else), politically connected, ...

... the rich and politically connected are far less likely to show up at my local shopping mall, or on my doorstep trying to sell me something I don't want ...

You really didn't know that?

There are just so many things I don't "know", aren't there? Like how people traipsing around my neighbourhood and places of business with pistols in their pockets would make me safer ...

Quite seriously, as long as rich people were the ones getting concealed firearms permits (which really is not the case where *I* am at), I wouldn't be too likely to encounter a legally concealed firearm-toter, so I wouldn't really care.

I'm not much for that old Aesop trick of looking at the grapes that the fox revlected in the water has, and dropping the ones I've got for the illusion of something better. The fact that some boring idle rich people may have something I don't have wouldn't actually make me want it, or imagine that the world would be better if everybody had it. Just think if we all drove monster luxury SUVs everywhere we went, what the world would be like.

Me, I'd be more likely to be agitating for the boring idle rich people *not* to drive around in monster luxury SUVs with concealed firearms, that being *my* idea of what would be a nicer world for everyone, than demanding that everybody get to have 'em.
