Shedding light on concealed handguns
By Christian Trejbal

"A state that eagerly puts sex offender data online complete with an
interactive map could easily do the same with gun permits, but it does
not."

Sex offenders are criminals, usually recidivist offenders. Citizens who carry concealed are exercising an inalienable right. They aren't criminals, the comparison doesn't make any logical sense. I can only assume Trejbal thinks these folks are all dangerous.

"Local celebrities generally don't carry, but at least a half dozen
elected officials do. I'll leave it to readers to figure out which ones so
you can avoid annoying them at meetings."

Maybe this is just "smart-ass bed wetting liberal humor" and I don't get it. Otherwise its just a plain ignorant comment. Most people who carry concealed have no interest in shooting anyone. They carry for self defense from violent criminals, not so they can shoot somebody that annoys them. It takes a truly warped perspective to worry more about law-abiding citizens with a license or permit, than criminals who pay no attention to the law. Newsflash Christian, scumbag criminals aren't on that list, they don't apply for permits! They don't pay attention to the law, thats why they are criminals.

Please don't insult our intelligence by claiming this is about open government. Its about fear, ignorance and arrogance. The lists shouldn't be available so you can't endanger people. We don't need criminals or self appointed nannies looking at those lists.
