Carry permit holder shoots other carry permit holder.
In comments, Rustmeister nails it:
One of the drawbacks of carry becoming more mainstream is it will become a more representative cross section of society.
I hope not. After all, CCW holders tend to be more law-abiding than even the police.

Lots of local info of what went down (and good discussion) before this Cavs game over at the Ohio CCW forums.
Uncle highlights a great point, and I would add this is what you get with twenty-somethings, a chick, and a cave man like testosterone challenge.
With the widespread issuance of CHL’s to guys in their early 20’s we will have to deal with the inevitable subset of this population that will develop schizophrenia / bipolar disorders in their late 20’s – early 30’a when these mental disorders come out of nowhere.

CCW types are more law abidding NOW. There isn’t too many of us. The few scumbags that jump through the CCW hoops and just haven’t YET been caught doing a crime are out there now, but they are a tiny percentage of a small subset of the entire country. As a greater percentage of the population CCWs, the total number of scumbags CCWing goes up, and eventually the law of averages catches up and wrongdoers appear more prevalent.
I don’t like it, but it is certainly no reason to make CCW more rare as a public policy.

Especially in Tulsa, OK. The cops there are as crooked as they get. 30 people (as of 11/10/2010, more to follow, I am sure) released from prison due to drug and gun scams set up by the cops. And then they want to hire more of the same cops. Unions suck! So do cops.

Damned with faint praise.
