Historically, people who concealed carry are less like to commit crimes than any other group. That includes people like police officers, judges, and politicians. At the end of the day, people who carry a firearm lawfully don’t represent any kind of threat to other law-abiding people.
Yet that fact doesn’t seem to matter much to people who think concealed carriers are some kind of vile species looking to prey on the innocent.
It’s why so many places try and push for bans on carrying a firearm lawfully. One such place, though, has now abandoned those plans.
A large special district in Jefferson County has decided against becoming one of the first entities in Colorado to test the limits of a new law allowing local governments to enact gun control laws within their jurisdiction.
