By wanting this information to be public clearly shows that one does not trust the police.
But these are the same people who say we don?t need guns the police will protect us.
There is something wrong with this logic.

Don?t try to impose your personal feelings towards and inanimate object on others.
Guns exists in our society, they have since day one and they will until there is no longer a United States of America. Most CHL holders use education to maintain safety. Accusations that accident will happen are not valid. Millions of gun owner never have an accident. Why do you criminalize all?

Why do you have a problem with someone owning 100 guns? May be they are a collector.
Besides a person like that would never do anything illegal. They would want to lose their guns.

No, this should not be of public record because it makes permit holders susceptible to become potential targets from extremist groups.
Hitler started a registration program so he would know who to eliminate first. Knowledge is power.
Besides who cares if you neighbor has a permit. It has zero effect of how you live your life.

The police do an extensive background check, we should trust them. By wanting these records to be public clearly states that we the public do not trust the police. This is wrong.

People, who have permits, have them for two reasons, to protect themselves from confrontational crimes and to support the permit system.

People who want this information have personal issues that they need to work through themselves instead of blaming others for their problems.
