"I'm with the people who said that, at least you know he passed a background check and was squeaky-clean."
It could also mean that he just hasn't been caught at anything since turning 18 and entering the realm of the adult justice system.
Personally, I'd try not to let that sole factor (CCW) color my judgment of him too vividly. Just because *I* have a CCW, and feel that *I'm* a responsible, well-intended person, I don't think it wise to automatically project those qualities onto my daughter's suitor based solely on *his* having a CCW.
Once upon a time, hearing that someone was a Boy Scoutmaster or a priest meant that one might "safely" assume them to be of good character and high moral standards. Now, due to the actions of a minority of Scoutmasters and priests and the accompanying publicity, we know that such an assumption
based solely on those professions/avocations would not be a prudent one.
Personally, I'd rather spend the time and energy with my daughter (stepdaughter in my case), helping reaffirm her sense of self-worth so that she's strong enough to make choices that are really right for
her...then letting her make them.
I didn't much like her last serious boyfriend (she's now 26), but never told her that as I didn't think there was anything she'd gain from my opinion. There was nothing seriously wrong with the guy (else I'd have said something), he was just an aimless (though employed) schlub. The only way I'd feel it was my biz to say something to her is if the guy was bad
to her or if I thought she had a seriously blind spot. YMMV.
