Message: <blockquote data-quote="Murph" data-source="post: 2048804" data-attributes="member: 8602">You might point out that people who take the trouble to get a carry permit are among the most trustworthy in the country in two areas. Permit holders are champs at recognizing when defensive use is called for to preserve life as well as when such use is inappropriate. They are also extremely competent at avoiding collateral damage. We can confidently make these assertions by pointing out that while the population of permit holders now numbers in the millions, news reports on permit holders 'errors of judgement' and/or 'lack of skill' are so low as to be basically non-existent. For additional support you could point out the significance that this lack of coverage occurs in a media environment that is biased towards keeping any negative 'stories' about firearms in the national news cycle as much as possible while limiting or even ignoring reports of defensive gun use .IANAL but ignoring the recognizable benefits associated with the presence of  permit holders might render the bank liable for any damages suffered by employees or customers during a robbery or other life threatening event.</blockquote>
