Sheriff Terry Maketa says he believes in them and signs an average of 85 permits a week. El Paso County has the highest percentage of CCWs per capita in the state of Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>Of course in the interest of providing balance, CBS&#8217;s Jeff Glor had to interview Dan Gross of the Brady Campaign. Gross&#8217;s comments were interesting.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Forty nine states, every one except Illinois, have some form of concealed carry but not all require permits, including Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming. <b>There is no national database on who has the weapons, something Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, thinks needs to change.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am willing to accept that the majority of concealed carry permit holders are law-abiding citizens,&#8221; said Gross. &#8220;That&#8217;s not where this debate or conversation needs to be. It needs to be on the percentage that are not.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Dan Gross believes that there should be a national database of concealed carry holders which is publicly accessible. Hmm, that sounds just like the databases of convicted sex offenders. Will CCW holders be required to notify their neighbors that they hold a permit? Will you be able to go online and pull up all CCW holders within a certain distance from your home? Will permit holders need to get the permission of authorities if they want to change their residences? Will permit holders by banned through zoning of residing in certain areas of a town because it is too close to a school?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the Brady Campaign would deny that they want concealed carry permit holders to be treated just the same as convicted sex offenders. Nonetheless, a public, national registry would have a similar impact and that would make the gun prohibitionists very happy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS ran a story this weekend on the growth in concealed carry permits in El Paso County, Colorado.
