Do you think your Information should be Public record?

[RDW]

This post sent me into " O CR#P MODE ". LOL, The first thing that I did was close USA Carry and started searching the net for NM concealed carry. No list, no names, so I made a couple of phone calls. I went back into I'm OK, your OK mode, went back into USA Carry to post NM is not putting out the list. I read the post about Google, back into " Well Cr#p mode". Closed USA Carry, pulled up Google, put in RDW, full name, nick name, common name and came up with nothing. I found a couple of my friends in google, which is kind of disturbing since we live in backwater USA, and there is really no reason for them to come up. So... to make a long story short, New Mexico will not release the list unless it is on a court order.

Yes they may not put a list out. but did you find out how to go about getting the information? Can john Q get it? Just because NM says They are not going to put out a list. does not mean that your Information is still public record.

Subjecting law abiding citizens who happen to be packing heat to this kind of treatment is treating them the same way that convicted sex offenders are treated. This is WRONG!

What does that mean? You think it's wrong to have a data base for Sex offenders?

Of course not. It would be of no benefit for the public to have access to this. It could provide criminals with locations to rob.

NO! What I was trying to say is that it is wrong to treat law abiding CCW holders the same way sex offenders are treated.

Yes that's my point we have done nothing wrong. We have followed the rules done the paper work and played the game. But yet still they feel the need to treat us like the rest of the scum. I think a data base for sex offenders is a great tool and is a must have. They have already proofed they can not be trusted. Not only that but they attack and pray on people who are tool small to fight back. What was our crime? Other then following the law and handing over all OUR INFORMATION to them so we could get a permit? Whats the threat to the public? It seems like as is always the case if someone cry's for mommy then the rest of our rights no longer matter. Then you have cops over stepping the law and there jobs by acting. Such was the case with the PA soccer mom who had her permit pulled for doing nothing more then open carrying ( well with in the law). Some people cried and her permit was pulled so he could keep his job.

With a Concealed weapons data base or even just letting John Q have that information it's telling them. My address, that I'm armed with one or more guns and so on. This is not just people in my town being able to get this information your talking about any one in the state or even in the USA. While the data base may not as of yet be made ( John Q can still get your Concealed weapon information if they know how).

You may be surprised what a search on the following could bring up. True some may cost $15 - $50 and there are many more:

FL use to let people search this information but as of 2006 they changed the laws.
