I'll agree with several here: a crime is a crime.
If CHL holder are 'held to a higher standard', then there's a great disincentive to bother
with the license... which is unconstitutional anyway... but that's another thread.
The thug who doesn't bother with the legalities will be rewarded with a lesser punishment than the guy who did jump through the hoops (which never guarantees morality anyway).
Before long, if not already, a huge list of non-violent "crimes" will bring punishments far worse than the act would really call for, especially since many perfectly moral activities which harm NOBODY are felonies these days.
