Link Notwithstanding the possible advantage of not being in another governmental database, the comments thus far seem to weigh heavily in favor of obtaining a permit. Reciprocity seems to be the main advantage, as well as obtaining current instruction on the applicable laws.
I truly appreciate the helpful feedback. All things considered, it looks like I will be attending a class in mid-May.
I’m not sure what your paranoia is. When I read someone with “concerns about being in another government database”, it gives me pause. The state police database is only accessible from the statewide LINK system. Outside agencies, by statue can’t access it. It can’t be accessed by freedom of information act.
LINK is accessible by state dispatch centers or police mobile data terminals. Beyond local and state law enforcement, the government can’t see you have got a permit unless you show them.
“The Government” already knows that you purchase a gun with a required NICS check. You can buy face to face to remain off the grid, but to live may kind of life, I would not worry.
At the end of the day, get the permit.
