I’m saying that if we are going to try to increase safety by banning people from public buildings and parks on the basis of whether they are carrying a gun, it would be statistically safer to ban non-carriers than carriers.
I’m not suggesting that we actually do this, of course.
Isn’t that the default state? Prohibited concealed carriers except those permitted?

Agreed.
The people who apply for permits are the ones who’ll obey the law.
I guess that means that permits are not an effective deterrent and that we should just ban guns altogether.
