far more law abiding and responsible with their firearms then any other group of firearm owners, they are not all angels. (And in mythology and religion, not all angels are good.)

Occasionally a case will pop up where a CCW holder misused his/her firearm.

In Florida, for example, 1,666,203 concealed weapons permits have been issued from 10/1/87 - 11/30/09. Currently 674,225 licenses are valid. In that twenty two year period of time only 167 licensees have been revoked because of a crime committed with a firearm.

Statue of the Fallen Angel, Retiro Park (Madrid, Spain).

This case is still under investigation, but the authorities are recommending that the shooter be charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery.

It will all play out in court. As it should.
