As one of those Virginian’s with a CWP I can assure you all the permit has accomplished is to stop most of the idiots from jerking your car door open and robbing you. The suspect, rightly so, that they will be met with the business end of a Glock 40. So far, as with everything else the panic’d liberals fear have proven unfounded.
Reference: City government of Kennesaw, Georgia, a couple of decades back, required home owners to possess a firearm in their residence. Crimes involving breaking & entering ceased to occur. No accidental deaths due to firearms, feud resolutions, nor shooting rampages, to my knowledge, have occurred since this local ordinance was passed. There was the whacko “day-trader” who killed his family on the other side of Atlanta, and a bunch of people at his stock trading office in Atlanta, after losing a small fortune on that big Dow Jones roulette wheel; he shot himself when his escape ended in a Kennesaw gas station parking lot, while surrounded by local police. Other than that, Kennesaw is a pretty safe place to be, if you are in a home there. Come in without an invite, Messrs Glock, Winchester, Remington, Heckler & Koch, and their relatives will show you the exit, horizontal and inert.
