    Reason does a good job shredding this story: http://reason.com/blog/2011/12/27/scare-story-about-carry-permit-holders-s
    Basically permit-holders in NC are 20 times less likely than the general public to be convicted of a felony.

    National Review's Robert VerBruggen dissects the NYT article and shows that their statistics actually demonstrate that North Carolina permit holders are far more law abiding than the population as a whole.
