The Oregon Trail

Flores said "Many of these people get CHL's because they are worried about their safety, whether it’s from a stalker, a case of domestic violence, or some other threat. Making their names, addresses and other records public might jeopardize their security.”

Good for Rep. Flores. I do wonder if legislation--assuming it passes--will override a judgment awarded under existing law: ex post facto 'n all that.

I still like this plan.

Here's my advice to snoops with a burning desire to know who has a gun:

Assume we all do. Conduct yourself accordingly and there shouldn't be any problems.

And by "snoops," I also mean the ones originally intended to secure the blessings of liberty. Why anyone thinks it's any of their business is beyond me, and this situation is only possible because gun owners made a special effort to put themselves on a list--one government controls and can access any time they want.

I haven't carried a gun for many years, but I always conduct myself as though I do.

It is really amazing how much confrontation in which I don't become involved.

Just a few sporadic instances of carry over the last twenty years, the problem for the bad guys and the bad cops, they just never know if I am in a sporad.

Due to exigent circumstances in our local area, at the moment, I have mechanical assistance at hand. And I didn't ask anybody for permission.
