holders are the most "law abiding" citizens on earth is, and always has been, pure rubbish. The fact that they managed to pass a background check, like most other gun purchasers, basically means that they have no outstanding warrants, and are not felons.

The possibility that CCW holders may in fact be wife beaters, alcoholics, anti-social individuals with anger issues, or just outright bullies is never considered when allowing almost anyone to carry a lethal weapon in public.
