Tom from WElches, Or
I think the only people who benefit from knowing if someone has a concealed weapons permit are the criminals. They can decide which house to rob by seeing if they have a weapon or not. They can decide to go for the easy target. As your speaker said if it is weapons they are looking for they can go for the people on the list and come hard shooting right away knowing that you have one. I am a former Army Ranger and I carry a pistol most he time with a permit. I have had to show it twice since I have had it in three years. I think that people who have these permits need to ready to use it if they brandish it at someone. We wouldnt want the criminal to take it from a person and use it one them.
