It isn't a question of right or wrong Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #136

The exercise of rights always carries responsibilities slackmaster Apr 2012 #153

Why would someone with a gun be attacked? Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #164

Perhaps you are not familiar with the concept of carrying a _concealed_ weapon slackmaster Apr 2012 #170

I think that is the whole point. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #176

Are you being intentionally obtuse here? slackmaster Apr 2012 #178

Am I being obtuse? LOL Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #181

The fact that it has been published puts the CCW holders in much greater danger than a random thug slackmaster Apr 2012 #186

OK, let's say only their enemies know they are armed. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #189

Perhaps they already 'got out of dodge' and their location wasn't known to their stalker.. X_Digger Apr 2012 #190

In the local paper? Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #192

You mean like the Memphis paper did, and published the whole state?? X_Digger Apr 2012 #195

It seems that your goal is to run people who have CCW permits out of town slackmaster Apr 2012 #194

Neither do I Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #197

Love it. Nobody needs to be carrying a gun around in secret. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #27

Don't know what burglary has to do with concealed carry Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #77

Depending upon the state you may be required to obtain a CCW just to posses a handgun in your home. Remmah2 Apr 2012 #84

What state would that be? And a shotgun would serve better in the home IMO Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #85

You can't get a CCW for a scatter gun! Remmah2 Apr 2012 #95

How exactly do disclosures like this one benefit public safety, and how do petronius Apr 2012 #74

How do the disclosures benefit public safety? Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #75
