IMO, the increased ability to CCW COULD allow people to retaliate in a situation. I can also see how some cops might be a little uneasy about this as they will have to be on thier toes from people carrying guns being good or bad.
I see the good and the bad.

Al makes some good points. However, the people applying for CCW would have a background check performed on them, they would have to take a NRA certified pistol saftey course (and pass it), and probably pay a decent amount of money for the processing ad the permit itself on top of it all. not to mention having their fingerprints taken and put into an FBI data base. plus here in NJ, legally bought handguns are registered so it will always get traced back to whomever bought it.
honest law abiding citizens should have the right to protect themselves. Criminals dont care if the law says they cant carry, they're going to do it anyway.
I own a gun and I can tell you that the last thing I ever want to do is use it for its intended purpose. its a last ditch effort in the truest sense of the term.
