The opposition of "inner-city"-type politicians makes more sense when you take into account that CCW results in the MIDDLE-CLASS being armed, which has certain implications:

1. The (voting) underclass will mostly not be in a position to take advantage of CCW due to criminal record
2. The (voting) underclass will be more at risk when they attempt to prey on the middle class
3. The gang-bangers and drug dealers will be less able to intimidate armed, law-abiding neighbors into accepting their activities
4. The middle-class suburbs will no longer be able to be blackmailed into approving more "social spending" in order to avoid a "long hot summer". Their attitude is likely to change to "OK, #%$!#'s, bring it on!"
