If I go down to my local gunstore and purchase a gun and fill out all the paper work for the background check, where does all that information go? Is there any way that information can be used to identify me as a gun owner and which guns I own?
Do you think "they" should know?
Do you think it should be public information, discoverable by anyone willing to file a FOIA request for the info?
What if instead of going to the local gunstore, you respond to an add in the local trading post rag, and buy a gun face-to-face and pay cash from someone selling off a gun. Do you think "they" should know?
A newspaper out in Roanoke believes that it was doing good journalism and a public service by publishing a listing of all holders of concealed carry permit holders in VA. Do you agree or disagree with that?
Most folks here are fairly seasoned firearms owners and carry their gun(s), regularly. Most of us here, know the laws well and how the process all works. You've only been here a few times so I'll guess you've got some questions and want to learn and most here are willing and eager to educate.
