I must disagree... Criminals are going to go after easy targets... If
there is a greater chance that they might get killed by their intended
target, they will go elsewhere... It's all a risk and reward type of
scenario... 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?

FOIA request.

That only works for a request for one individual person, right? If so, why
do you think a crook would want to single out you?

Dunno. The last I heard, someone filed for the entire Texas list.

In any event, you've never seen me drive.

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.

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?
