WRAL has a story on rates of...

...concealed handgun permit possession in North Carolina. The story provides a map that shows the per capita rate of permit possession in each county. I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see Durham County has the lowest rate in North Carolina. A lot more problematical is the searchable database of permit holders for several counties in North Carolina. My county, Durham County, is included. While the database does NOT provide the street number or name of the permit holder, if you live on a short street with with only a house or two the odds of a housebreaker, in search of guns, getting the right house is dramatically reduced. Now you bad guys out there might want to consider using the database as a guide on neighborhoods to avoid. Breaking into a gun owner's home can have unintended consequences...unintended by you that is. My neighborhood, for instance, has lots of permit holders and even more gun owners. At least one of them, I know from personal knowledge has no problem, taking pot shots at housebreakers.
