As if Permission Matters

Should these men have been allowed to carry a gun? [More]

Actually, I'm more concerned with these men.

Besides, by their own admission:

No one has illusions that permit denials will keep guns out of the hands of criminals.

And a question for the NRA spokesman: Does your definition of criminality deserving a zero tolerance legal response include, say, people who carry to protect themselves because they don't have the connections to wrangle "may issue" permits? Or people who live in "no issue" locales? And how about people who refuse to register their guns?
