I don't disagree with that statement but the same can be said for the officer.... he was a good guy when he got hired on, but no better guarantee that he's stayed any cleaner than the guy who's gun he is running. It's still checking to see if we have become criminal, as opposed to having an actual purpose for running numbers. If that's cool, why not go door to door and check serial numbers?dac1842 wrote:
I know some will argue why disarm me? I have been through a background check? Well all that background check means is that on the date and time you were checked you were clear. It does not mean you have not gone to the dark side since. I know statistically less than 1% of CHL holders go dark. How does he know you are not that <1%? ..
A criminal would just not hand over the chl and not volunteer that he has a weapon on him. This is another area where ONLY the law abiding citizen gets his rights trampled.
In the grand scheme of things, I could care less if they ran my serial numbers, as I know mine are clean. But it's the what is next that I don;t like.... I have no stolen goods in my home but I don;t need anyone rummaging through my stuff just to see if they can find something. I hardly think you'd appreciate it either.
