I think it should be on public record because knowing if someone is carrying a weapon affects everyone. I would like to know if I live next to a person who has a weapon (handgun, I should say); whether or not they have a clean record. To me, it is like giving an illegal substance to someone who is not considered an addict, and then not requiring them to notify the community that they have an illegal substance. Perhaps I don't want to live next to someone who has an illegal substance, who has a handgun.
Thanks, Brooke.
