Can you see the difference in the meanings of the original headline versus this version of it? Authors of articles such as this need to be called out for glorifying the ownership of concealed carry permits, the purchase of which only serve to put money in the hands of the sheriffs and perpetuate the continuance of a system that has outlived its purpose.
Sorry, but what we put in the title was perfectly accurate. It also makes it clear that the person was carrying a concealed handgun, which was very important to the story.
