And that's a great single example - and I'm sure there are a ton more. The challenge is, for every one like this, there are dozens of examples where the good guy didn't fare so well. Or where a family member was shot and killed accidentally. Or a stray bullet took out a bystander. There are hundreds of those every year. You can't cherry pick your examples and ignore the multitude of evidence against this.
There are far too many unstable people out there and getting a CC license is actually fairly simple in many states. There are tons of stories where CC people used their weapons in non-life threatening situations. Many have killed loved ones and coworkers.
Again, argue it's your right all you like - but if you want to argue FACTS - sorry, it can't be done.
