Out of curiosity I did a quick search for numbers. I encourage other to do the same.
4.8% of Americans are licensed have CCW. (I could not find number for just NY. I suspect it is much lower since it is difficult to get one in NY)
Your permit is revoked if you have a felony, mental illness, firearms violation and probably other offenses
How law abiding are permit holders?
“One extremely easy fact to get information on is how law – abiding permit holders
are. .....
“Consider the two large states at the front of the current debate, Florida and
Texas: Both states provide easy web access to detailed records of permit holders.
During over two decades, from October 1, 1987 to May 31, 2014, Florida has
issued permits to more than 2.64 million people, with the average person
holding a permit for more than a decade.
Few, 168 (about 0.006%) have had their permits revoked for any type of firearms related violation, the most common being accidentally carrying a concealed handgun into a gun free zone such as a school or an airport, not threats or acts of violence.
It is an annual rate of 0.0002 percent.
The already low revocation rate has been declining over time.
Over the last 77 months from January 2008 through May 2014, just 4 permits have been revoked for firearms related violations. With an average of about 875,000 active permit holders per year during those years, the annual revocation rate for firearms
related violations is 0.00007 percent .”
Not surprisingly permit holders are law abiding citizens.
Also few permit holders (I have no statistics just anecdotal info) actually carry their gun with them at any one time. The typical carry rate in public is maybe 10–20 times in a year. Call it 30 for easy math. That means 1 in 12 of 4.8% or 0.4%, or 1 person in 250. That is way on the high side. And really on the high side for NY state.
The crimes are not committed by permit holders. It is the non-permit holders who do the bad deeds.
