If 1,000,000 citizens get CCWs do you think that 0 CCW holders would be involved in a lethal force incident a calendar year later?
No.

I would love, absolutely LOVE, to see ONE SINGLE credible source for that "theory". You won't find one. Sure, the Brady Bunch has a few, if you want to cite theirs. Hardly "credible" though.

A very strong argument can be made that CC reduces crime. More guns equals less crime.

Unfortunately, correlation does not prove causality. There is, however, a strong correlation in many cases.

The opposite (your theory) has no such correlation.
