I'm struggling with this and am interested in other thoughts and opinions.
The obvious advantage is being able to legally carry.
My major concern is getting on an active database as having one would seem to be a direct flag pointing to me as having at least one handgun as well as other firearms. You know, something like the Katrina incident where New Orleans actually seized personal weapons. Yes, What they did was wrong. But the fact is they did it. I believe that many folks did not get their property back and were not compensated either.

Can it happen again? Yes, I think so. Doesn't matter if there's a violation of the Second amendment rights of the People. If the Federal, State or local authorities decide to seize firearms wouldn't a CCW database be a primary tool?
Has anyone thought about this? Am I wrong in my thinking? Who do you trust?
