Concealed Carry Permit: License To Be Burgled

Cowboy Blob's Saloon, Sanitarium, and Shootin Gallery: Countertop is on Fire!

So, you've got your Carry Concealed Handgun permet, and now you're feeing like the Cats' Pajamas. You are carrying in Stealth Mode, right?

Wrong!

Concealed Carry is only 'stealthy' if nobody knows you're packing.

(Obvious Hat Tip to Cowboy Blob, and Countertop)

This asshole is the publisher of the Northwest Florida Daily News.

Tom Conner
792 Gary Player Ln
SHALIMAR, FL 32579
850-651-0164

The other day they decided to publish the names and adresses of all of Florida's Concealed Carry Permit Holders. In the interest of fairplay, I've decided to publish his home address and phone number too.
(ripped from COUNTERTOP's blogsite)

Hey, you know what?

Unless there are severe legal restrictions to CCW or CCH permit information, they can do this in YOUR state, too!

I have no idea whether that information is accessible in MY state, but I would be willing to bet that it could be done.

Kinda takes the romance out of concealed carry, doesn't it?

This may have been the reason why Tom Conner, of 792 Gary Player Lane; Shalimar, Florida 32879 (home phone 850 651-0164) decided to publish the information.


Note:
Open Carry is not the answer, either. See the latest chapter in the continuing story of FishOrMan who was arrested after a traffic stop, openly carrying in his car .. and also, on another incident, in the local Fred Meyers store. He is currently fighting the second legal action, and has pled on the first incident which cost him $925 plus forfeiture of the firearm.

Not wise to be too bold.
