Citing fears of increased gun violence ... Lots of municipalities and states have enacted CCW. Is there any evidence in even a single instance where increased gun violence was a consequence? Aren't we at a point where the proper response to such concerns is "put up or shut up?"

With the number of handguns NOW possessed by non-criminals in Wisconsin, the "wave of violence" should already be here, if there was one.
Hell, any idiot can put the gun in the glove-box or under the car-seat; cargo pants EASILY hide smaller handguns, and so do most winter jacket pockets.
Smoke and mirrors from these idiots, including the Waukesha DA, who carries when he wants to.

There hasn't been one single solitary case where gun violence has increased. It has either diminished or remained somewhat the same, but it has never increased.
I live in one of the free-est states in the Union regarding gun laws and we have very little crime compared to some of our neighbors. Sure there is going to be crime and there is going to be human on human violence. But that's going to exist whether guns exist or not.
