Starting in about 1995 Tennessee adopted shall issue concealed carry and I got myu permit then. I’ve packed loaded heat in my vehicle ever since then. I’ve never heard or read of any shootout between CCW carriers since then, and TN now has about 250,000 licensed carriers.

They’re saying 270,000 permit holders in Michigan. Add in shotguns and rifles and its a few million at least.
