It's an AP story - what do you expect?

Those records should remain open as a practical safety matter, Gleason added.

"What if you're an abuse victim, and you want to know if the person who's abusing you is carrying a concealed weapon?" he said. "That seems like a legitimate question to ask."

I wish I could ask Gleason if he is tripping or what:

1. An abuse victim is more likely than not abused by someone very well known to the victim. Posession of a firearm, let alone CCW will not be in question.
2. An abuser will not be a law abiding CHL carrier. The abuser most likely does not have a CHL.
3. What difference does it make? Abuser can still have a firearm w/o a CHL!

It really isn't even a legitimate question! DUH! Call the Police! Get help!
If you are being abused do you really care how?
Oh.... he's only beating the crap out me, that's OK, but I draw the line at guns! WTF
What a pinhead!

BTW That article is from the Register Guard here in Eugene.

You know, before I got my CHL I did a test to see if a weapon could be concealed on my body. ' No Problem ' nuf said. :nuts:
