Carrying a CCW won't matter much unless the "Red Dawn" scenario goes down, in which case the Occupation Forces will track you down and put you up against a wall.
But that is why we have AR's, AK's and an ammo stash right?

Is a concealed carry permit worth it ?
There is a particularly obnoxious left-wing publication in Arkansas, Arkansas Times, that did the same thing. Whereupon Arkansas CHL holders put up the name, address and home phone number of the flack who did it. After a day or so, he took down the site. Seems people were calling him at home to complain.Back in my motherland (the beautiful state of TN) a major newspaper published an internet search-able database of all the TN CCP holders, including addresses at first.

The same thing happened to the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He actually seemed SURPRISED that this would happen.There is a particularly obnoxious left-wing publication in Arkansas, Arkansas Times, that did the same thing.

Personally, I wouldn't rely on a baton for self-defense - the reasons have already been given. But once you have the permit, you will (at the least) have more options available to you than just a baton.
i dont think so, but if we are here in texas, thats one heck of a list. i honestly dont care.Are you put on a special list ?
in my only 2 encounters i have been treated better. once was in an apartment parking lot where the cop (dallas police officer) actually parked his cruiser and stayed and chatted about 30 minutes. i was carrying an aluminum framed commander sized 1911 and he was quite smitten by it. he took the pistol and asked if it was loaded, and i said yes, with one in the chamber. he dropped the mag, handed it to me, and removed the round from the chamber and handed that to me. this was not in an effort to keep the situation safe for himself, but because he just wanted to check the gun out. i could tell that after just a few minutes he was completly comfortable with the situation. he went on and on about how the department wouldnt allow 1911's to be carried by on duty personel. he just loved it, and commented several times about how light it was and how easily it pointed. after about 5 mins or so he handed it back to me while continuing to talk. he never even really broke his stride in the conversation as he did. he said i could go ahead and rechamber and reholster, which i did. he stayed and we talked about how we were both raised around firearms. turned out his dad had taught him the ropes long before he ever even thought about being a cop, as did mine. he said he was looking into buying a new firearm to carry while off duty, and that it would be a lightweight commander.During a traffic stop are you treated differently than a citizen without a permit ?
Not to lead this thread off target, but Arkansas Times is a special case. It used to be a real magazine with subscribers, but has degenerated into one of those freebie rags you see lying around at airports and fast food joints.Obnoxious, left-wing, and publication (ie newspaper). Isn't that a triple redundancy?

Lists? Not really, unless some stupid reporter decides to access public records and publish all permit holders in the local paper.
With that kind of money, you could buy a dozen Chicago aldermen with your pocket change, and they'd get you a permit.I suppose somebody gives he $100million I'd move to Illinois
I also see no pros to carrying a baton. Seems like you're putting yourself in danger and yielding a civil suit in the process. Carry a spray if you're not comfortable with a gun. You're not going to put distance on an attacker with an asp.
