Instead of publishing all the FOID holders, why not request a list of names of all those who are eligible for the FOID (no felonies, domestic abuse misdemeanors, no substance abuse history, no mental illness history) along with lists of names associated with each type of disqualifier. At the same time, also publish the names and addresses of all judicial staff and law enforcement officers, current and former, whether retired or discharged from their positions. These officers are trained and proficient, and should adequately handle any and all intruders, even if the officers are of advanced age or disabled.
Essentially, is not the FOID an indicator of an eligible, disqualifier-free non-LEO citizen who was willing to pay "extra" for the ability to exercise one of his or her rights without legal retribution from the state?
You have the right to pay extra. If you do choose to pay extra, that payment can and will be used against you.
Let's bring back the poll tax, too. That was a good example of people paying extra for the right to vote.
Unfair? None of the above is "fair".
Work for Constitutional Carry in each and every state and commonwealth, with the only list published to be the list of registered voters.
