I have finally applied for a CC permit. My priest has suggested that it might be prudent if several of the parishioners come to mass armed. I have avoided CC because of the nagging thought that come the Confiscation, the troops will go for the names on the lists they have first. Well I am a security guard and my new position requires me to be armed and I have gotten my state's "G" license to have a .38 on my hip while at work. So. I am on a gun list. I might as well get on the other one, too. That said there are places I won't drive my car any more. When a police car is behind you his scanner automatically reads your tag and puts all your info up on the screen in the cop car. That info includes the permit. In Dade County that the cop probably sees that permit as justification to stop you with his gun out. He will say something about a tag light being out. In Dade that permit makes you an enemy of society. Where I live the CC won't even be mentioned if the cop stops you for speeding or something else.If anything the officer sees you as an ally.
My friend was pulled over for something and when he came back from checking on her license, he said, "do you have your gun with you? I see your a CCW holder". She said no, not today. He said, "why not, go home and get your gun, don't leave home without it".
Small town in southern Oregon, can you believe it? We also have a constitutional sheriff, John Hanlin, the teaparty sent him to Sheriff Macks constitutional sheriff class. He agreed if we paid for the class, he would go. Perhaps you saw him on TV when Roseburg, OR had the college shooting, by a black Muslim, but that fact was swept under the rug.
