thx for your answer.

It would be nice if no one carried guns. I wish there were large gun-free zones and that all schools were gun-free.

It's easy to wish - much harder to develop policy and effectively enforce it.

As for the exemptions, unless one of us were an 18-year-old in Idaho trying to get a gun permit, it would be hard to know whether anyone who applies gets the exemption, or only, as you say, someone under threat of violence.
