THe STATE POLICE wasted no time creating the FOI OPT OUT FORM did they?

[golocx4]

With the current assault on legal gun owners, why would you voluntarily tell the the STATE POLICE anything!

The condition of the records in the County Offices is neither uniform or an many cases computerized. I have heard stories about the file cabinets full of pistol
permit info in the archives of the County Seat The STATE POLICE. chose to let the counties handle the Pistol Permit licences.
One we notified the STATE POLICE when we had an address change and nothing happened. It fell into a black hole of SEIU listlessness and apathy.

Now the STATE POLICE. is asking gun owners to voluntarily tell the STATE POLICE who you are when the Counties already have the information. As for me I am holding off on the OPT OUT list. Are we are just making their job easier by volunteering this information. Let them pay for someone to pull the records and type them in to a data base.

Chris Jacobs will be speaking at the Erie County SCOPE meeting. I plan on asking him this before I volunteer my information to the STATE POLICE:

Regarding the Pistol Permit information from ERIE County, How will that be transferred to the STATE POLICE. The Plastic ID's are probably computerized,
What If I still have a paper license, has that been computerized yet?

IF ANYTHING, DON'T BE IN A RUSH TO SEND THIS IN. PERHAPS WE SHOULD ALL SEND IN ON THE SAME DAY, LIKE APRIL 10TH.
Why make their job easier?

I printed the page out for public records exemption and the only box I can check is #2 (My life or safety or that of a member of a household may be endangered by disclosure....) and I must explain why. I reside with my mother and when I'm not home, I do not want her to be in any danger whatsoever should an incident of any sort happen. Yes my pistol is hidden and locked, but that doesn't matter. Just looking how to write this correctly in the 3 lines that I have to explain this.

Just check off #4. No explanation required.

Just check off #4. No explanation required.

I looked at that option, but it seems that would draw some looks and undue attention???

I was told the form goes to your County Clerks office, who retains the pistol permit listings. Where did this 'state police'
thing enter into the picture. I also do not see how reaon no. ( 4. ) - ( I have reason to believe that I may be subject to
unwarranted harassment upon disclosure.) - would draw undue attention. I think some of you are seeing problems here where none exist.

Some things to consider:

1. was your name on the list that was published a few years ago? If so, opting out only protects you from publication of future list.

2. Purchase ammo or a gun with a credit card and your bank can sell that info to anyone willing to purchase it.

3. A thief doesn't need, and doesn't care about, your name. If he wants to break into a home where there might be a firearm that he can steal, then he just parks outside the Gun Center and follows one of the customers home. Once he knows "where" he doesn't care about the "who".
