Pretty much the same reason cops go after speeders vs real criminals -- low risk, good money vs high risk and expending money for trial and incarceration... Even a bigger factor is the likelihood that a crook is going to take the time to look up and see if a potential victim has a gun registered. Is it even possible to look up information like that?

Just a guess, your early 20s, 5'6", blonde and have a
cellphone attached at the ear. Some pervert saw you in your airline uniform and got your tag number. You've just become a stalking victim and don't even know it yet. But he knows where you work and live and he will follow you until he gets up the nerve to make contact. Hope you have more than that cellphone.

Hope you have more than that cellphone. Well, I'm driving a new car without a license plate, don't work for an airline, am brunette, and in my mid 20's, but you got the height right. Believe me, I'm not anti-gun, it's just something that's not high on my list of things to do right now. I'm doing what I can (and what I've done falls under the "I'm not going to say because I want it to be a surprise to anyone who tries to screw with me" thing). |

You sound too nice to have your face smashed by some thug,
recheck your priorities. The point is anybody can become a target at a time chosen by the attackers.

Unfortunately, my priorities at this point are dictated by my employer (as it should be). And that means too much traveling at the moment to even think about a gun. |

Depends on the law, Kansas doesn't allow public access to
personal information, some states do. I wonder why those states don't publish lists of young women living alone? -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
