True, but persons with criminal intent will carry a gun without a permit anyway. I don't think a CCW permit is going to make a person more likely (than they would be otherwise) to commit a violent crime.As CCW becomes more popular, it is inevitable that the wrong kind of person will get a permit.
Actually, this sort of thing does prove to me that the whole CCW permit system is a waste of time and resources, not to mention an "infringement." All states should just have a CCW policy similar to Vermont and Alaska.
I would be okay with an cop running a background check on a person discovered with a concealed weapon, similar to what they do on each traffic stop. If clear of violent offenses, then it should be "thanks for your time, have a nice day"
