What's happening is that companies are increasingly doing background checks on prospective employees. Your having a CCW license will turn up in the background check.

I could see, as a privacy issue, forbidding CCW from being included in an employment background check, on privacy grounds. The Left would be upset about employers using information about sexual orientation or membership in political groups (unless it's nasty extreme right-wing stuff like Tea Party membership), so this is just another privacy issue.

Things are so much easier in Arizona.

“Say, young lady, when you are about town like today, just wearing your bikini, where on Earth do you keep your gun?”

“Why, good sir, I am not carrying a gun!”

“Good heavens! And out in public? My wife carries a spare with her, and I will ask her to give it to you as a loaner until you can properly arm yourself. What would your parents think if they saw you parading around half-defenseless like that? People will talk! Scandalous!”

The mere fact that something like this needs to be considered tells us more about the State of the Union than we would ever guess.

We are fast becoming a nation of Fools fueled by willful ignorance and Utopian fantasies.
