I asked the question as I can't recall a news story where the shooter bad guy had a cw or open carry...the heroes of some of these stories were cw thank goodness..
And before florida went open carry it had become cw without the need to be permitted...
Zero news stories in florida where the bad guy in a shooting news story was cw...usually involves the usual suspects shooting there own for one stupid gang/drug related reason or another..
I doubt the dildos walking or riding around with this new open carry will be the start of any new gun violence either...it helps to have the law abiding ppl to be as armed as their criminal counterparts imo..

There have been a few. Several cases of bad or stupid shoots. Some of idiots going too far.
It's like everything else. To one degree or another, almost every, if not every group, contains a cross section of society, both good and bad. This applies to those possessing a permit, and those availing themselves of "Constitutional carry".
I do not disagree that arming law abiding citizens helps more often than not. I also agree that some citizens, even law abiding, would be better unarmed. Like any other tool, a firearm is sometimes misused because it is on the wrong hands.Sadly, some people are so lacking in self control that a firearm, like a vehicle with plenty of power, is a bad thing in their hands. Some people, given a hammer, believe everything to be a nail.
You simply cannot restrict liberty because some would misuse or abuse it. That's never a solution.
