The statistics bear this out. The rate of permit revocations is very low.

Of the active 497,835 CWFLs out there, 390 were revoked in the last 11 months, and 2703 suspended.

Or, roughly 0.6%

I really believe that the majority of folks that take the time to legally possess their guns and obtain a permit are law-abiding folks. I think a lot of people want to see gun laws changed in order to decrease crime but it doesn't work that way because the criminal doesn't care about the laws already on the books so why would he care about new ones????
