There's going to come a time when dealing with these types in a civilized manner is just no longer going to be an option anymore.
That time is long gone. Myself I just ignore them altogether as they're not worth one second of my time.

Like, for example, you can look up your doctor's licensure status, or a cosmetologist, or dentist, or a teacher's certification, and so on.

Why not know whether your housekeeper, or lawn or pool guy is carrying? I think I have every right to know whether someone working inside my house has a loaded gun on their person.
Screwdrivers, hammers, forks and knives too

So women who have a stalker who has threatened their life so they bought a gun, it is ok now that the stalker knows where they live and that they are armed. The police can't/won't protect them.And according to the courts the police have no obligation to protect them anyway.
Or like a friend who worked 20 years in gang country as a cop, now the gangs know where he lives.

If a woman's got a stalker who is threatening her life so much so that she carries a gun on her person, I DAMN sure want to know about that before I have her over to the house.

So as long as you know, it is ok that the person who threatened her knows? I hope you make sure your friends know that you care nothing about their life.

I think a stalker knowing his victim is packing a loaded gun and is prepared to use it, might calm him down a little, don't you think?

Not really. A stalker would most likely be mentally ill.

No, I don't. In fact, it would very likely cause the stalker to "ramp up" in their actions. These people want the attention, they want to know the victim is paying attention to them. Seeing their name and address on a list of people that have guns feeds right into their motives and just emboldens them more. Especially if they think it is because of them.

I'd actually feel safer if I knew there were people "packing" in my neighborhood. Because people who follow the law and do what they are supposed to do are not the ones who tend to cause the problem. But in no way do I think that these names and especially addresses should be put out there for public viewing.

But gees...as long as YOU know the victim has a gun to protect themselves putting out someone's personal information is all good...

If you want to know if someone in your house has a gun...ask them. An honest person would tell you the truth. A dishonest person won't, but then again a dishonest person wouldn't register their gun in the first place..

New York lost so many residents in 2020, their accumulated taxable income was $21B.

Gov't regs, high cost of living, & high taxes were cited as reasons.

New York is in decline, & it will look like Detroit or Cleveland some day.
