Pack hidden heat?? :silly:In Central Florida, about one in 40 adults has a permit to pack hidden heat.
Then you could do a comparison study to see how many folks who were listed as a permit holder on the site had been burgled (residents NOT at home) so their guns could be stolen. Or how many had been robbed and shot first thing so as not to have a chance and then wallet and gun were taken....so the BG stalks them...and having the advantage of "surprise...." makes the kill. He gets the money and the bonus for a new gun.....That is until he runs into somebody who's not just a novice and takes the right to carry and defend oneself seriously.BigJon said:It would be interesting if someone did a study based on crime statistics to see what percentage of burglaries in each county were committed against those who were versus those who were not licensed to carry. I bet you'd find that there'd be at least a slight difference, with those who are not on the licensed list being on top.
good postBetty said:The article itself is a good read and includes some pro-carry points.
Listing the names of permitholders serves no positive purpose and allows criminals to have a handy list of homes with guns, and points the way for anti employers and neighbors to discriminate and ostracize. :grumpy:
Welcome to Florida's Sunshine Law. What was intended to be used to keep track of goverment doings and avoid the corruption that comes from under-the-table dealings turned into a free-for-all access of individual records.Betty said:The article itself is a good read and includes some pro-carry points.

They got pounded yesterday with calls and emails to their editorial staff as well as their advertisers and state legislators.Kentucky said:Well, the URL I originally posted this morning which referred to the Florida media article and listing the CCW holders names and addresses has now changed and does not now list the names !!????? I guess it seems they updated the news release and it no longer shows the 'clickable' county CCW lists . Don't know if it was removed for some ?? reason or just replaced by later news, etc ???? Hmmm
You may have missed the posted Excel spreadsheets listing every CCW in 4 counties. No one here is complaining about the people that willing talked to the reporters, just the publication of the entire list. I bothered me to be on the list, now I gotta finish that safe in the closet, just in case. So m uch for remaining anonymous.JAMES BOND said:first thing you didnt mention is those people gave there names to a reporter who then had the full right of the 1st ammendment to freedom of the press and free speach. the state didnt publish those names the people gave away there names to the press!
If just ONE of those names is a current serving, retired or former LEO.... it's a felony.XD40 said:You may have missed the posted Excel spreadsheets listing every CCW in 4 counties.

Nope,.. and a private detective or licensed Bounty Hunter can get into big time trouble to say that they are.I wonder... does a private detective or licensed Bounty Hunter or any such clearance count as LE?
