Oldman45;

You are a good example of how each of us can promote responsible gun ownership. We receive several calls every week from new CCW permit holders, from all walks of life, all professions, all segments of society, from all over the country. So many states now have "shall issue" passed into law, that previously had none. That alone accounts for a significant increase of law abiding citizens carrying concealed weapons. I think in many states, before "shall issue" laws were passed, many people who wanted a firearm for protection were discouraged by the bureaucratic process in place to get a permit, if one even existed at the time. Keep up the good work.

Cheers;
