Out of state CCW permit to avoid fingerprinting?

[Neverwinter]

That, plus once my prints are on file somewhere the possibility exists for them to come up as a false-positive on a search. (I didn't get my permit until after I found out my state doesn't require prints; I thought they all did) Maybe the prints do not get stored, but I don't trust the .gov to throw away a juicy piece of data like that even if the law says they have to.

Have there been any cases where a false fingerprint match caused an innocent person to be convicted, or is this just a fear of a hypothetical? Also, if the retention of the data is illegal, why would it be admissible in court?

I've never been fingerprinted and I'd just like to keep it that way.

You can add Alaska now and Wyoming in a couple of months to that list.

Wyoming unlicensed carry will be for WY residents only

If there was some secret conspiracy to get your prints and place them at a crime scene, do you really think they'd have trouble getting your prints?

Submit the prints, get the permit, and move on..
