I think what Jbarn is saying is, he used to be in Law Enforcement, is now a CHL instructor, and is often out in the world with non law enforcement types. (the folks) Who didn't have to study the law, court cases, and such for their profession. Some, now have the audacity to question the motives of some who get paid from our taxes. That being said, if the government can check the serials of our weapons, shouldn't some other government stooge check over your laptop and and other personal items to keep you safe?

The answer is no. Lots of folks are CHL holders, more and more in Texas. Most people, all over the country, don't think carrying a concealed weapon is necessary, not to mention safe. They think the government will ALWAYS protect them. We know better. In the same vein, most people think giving up a little freedom means more security. We know that leads down another path. No, we shouldn't have to take our shoes off to get on a flight. No, our personal property should NOT be gone through, any time a government agent wants to. No, our phone calls, emails, web traffic should be our business, and not an any way, shape, or form the governments business. The sad part is, we are long past that. When you get stopped, if asked, hand it over. Even if you bought it new, it's not that much trouble right?
