CCW Question

[The Extractor]

I never have anyone else in my truck,usually. if there is someone 99 % of the time it is someone I know that already knows.

Someone needs to publish the stats on just how many CCW holders have used their weapons in unlawful manners, then pass it around to all the police departments, just like they pass around info on what to do with people with Ron Paul stickers.

I don't see how this could help us.

I don't see how it should't 56 CCW related fatalities over the last two years.

You know how many TOTAL gun related homicides there was for those three years? Over 11,000. So less than .5% of all gun related homicides involve a CCW holder.

that seems like pretty favorable statistics to me.

The cop was wrong, period.

When I'm carrying and get pulled over, I tell the officer first thing.

When I'm not carrying, I don't mention it.

Had I been in that position, I would have told the cop to go ahead and take it, you're gonna look real stupid.

In my CC class our instructor told us that some counties put that you are a CCW permit holder others don't. And that the counties that do can word it differently, supposedly Arapahoe puts it in as "person of interest" that was about 2 years ago so hopefully they have changed it.

That report is biased at best. To use the word slain is not an objective study...

You really think so?!!?
Of course it is, it was made by the VPC - total ant firearm group. Who else would you expect to take the time to compile a list like that?

Somewhere I heard that police are only able to see if you have a permit if your CCW was issued in Adams county. They say Douglas county is one of the best to get your permit from (you have to live there when you get it)

Most sheriff's do, though there is no statutory requirement to do so, report their list of persons to whom permits have been issued to be entered into the CCIC database. This is from the County Sheriff's of Colorado website:
__________
DATABASES:

Each Sheriff shall maintain a list of permit holders. Information may be shared with another criminal justice agency upon request by that agency for law enforcement purposes or for the purpose of determining the validity of the permit.

Permit holders may be entered into a CCIC database. This database is searchable by name and only available to law enforcement personnel. This file has no criminal implications but will identify a permit holder who comes in contact with a law enforcement agency to facilitate notification of the issuing Sheriff in the event of any misconduct or concerns regarding the permit holder.

I don't think it really matters which county you get your permit from.

Ahhh. I didn't know that. Thanks
