And still...if I own a gun, I don't want criminals knowing. That makes
you a target.

That's just silly Emily. Think about it. There are two people you have the
opportunity to rob. You know that person 1 has received training in how to
use a gun and there is a pretty good chance that they are carrying it on
them. Person 2 has not had the training and is probably NOT carrying a
firearm.

Which one would you rob? Add to that I kind of doubt that the criminal
element is going to be heading down to the State Police (or whomever manages
your CCW system) filing FOIA requests. That would sort of leave a paper
trail when peoples handguns started getting stolen.
