I'm surprised that there is a connection between the driver licensed data bases and concealed carry permit data bases. In the training I took in New Mexico, I was told that there was no connection, i.e. a law enforcement officer would not know about my CCP. BUT, reading on this forum gives me reason to pause. Last summer, several of my friends went to Canada with their campers. I was told that the Canadian immigration folks have a database that tells them whether someone has a CCP and uses that information to question them. Several of my friends had their campers searched. One of them lied to them about his CCP and was detained and had his equipment searched for four hours.
Is it true that there is a national database of CCP holders that can be cross-referenced by law enforcement from other states and other national governments, i.e. Canada and Mexico?
