The debate on making CCW permits public record is taking place now. Luckily, the idea appears to be getting shot down in each locale.
In my eyes, making these stupid permits we're forced to get public record is just another slap in the face. It hurts the personal security of the law-abiding individual while also giving criminals a shopping list of which residences to loot for guns.

Good question! Especially in today's lawsuit-happy environment. I'd be interested in hearing Dozer's (and any other EDU folks') opinions on this.

For what it's worth, in many states its legal for CCW permit holders to CCW on a school campus and the schools can't do a damned thing about it other than "recommend" CCW holders don't CCW. Predictably, this is a highly-controversial topic and there are some differing legal opinions even between districts within a state.
This is a great topic and excellent food for (my) work-related thought. Keep em coming, if the powers-that-be are okay with it.
