One of my good friends from the neighborhood has a CCW...carries with a round chambered with a pistol that has no mechanical safety (can't remember the exact model). This is the same guy who flipped a Mustang trying to take a curve at about 70 mph...

With the ease with which one can obtain a CCW now I don't think it inspires the type of professionalism and dedication to training one would hope for...plus people are distracted, fatigued, stressed, angry...
