    I ran these numbers a few months ago based on an anti gun orginization. I'm going to do this pretty fast but here it is:

    http://www.vpc.org/ccwkillers.htm

    Per the website there were 499 CCW murders over 5.7 years.
    That is about 90 deaths a year.
    With a population of 300 million, your yearly chances of being killed by a CCW holder: 0.0000003

    You might want to check the details. The website talks about "killers" not "murders". The number of dead include suicides and cases that are still pending in court.
