In reply to the discussion: 13 Shot Outside Arizona Nightclub [View all]PavePusher

By what criteria is it "easier" than being in close proximity? I've seen this claim many times, but never an explaination for it.
And yes, it takes more strength. So what? By denying guns to potential victims, you make defense a matter of strength.
And again you ignore the stealth aspect of the process. It is quite easy to non-chalantly amble into close proximity to an unsuspecting person, stab them and walk away.

Except that CCW carriers wouldn't be carrying in a bar because it's not legal to drink armed.
