Self reported gun ownership is down as per the number of homes admitting to having them.

This tells me that the stats are not accurate since many will deny or under report numbers, depending on who's asking.

It's all we have to go on since it would be unconstitutional for the gov't to require us to provide them an inventory.

It's also the same way the numbers have been reported, recorded and tabulated for over 50 years.

True, but 50 years ago there were not many people worried about admitting to be gun owners. These days, I think the number of people flat out denying [lying about] it are exponentially higher.

Without re-reading this entire thread, I'll respectfully offer this... If you can't take a dump without shooting your gun, or forgetting it in the stall you should have your ltc revoked. If you haven't thought about how to address mother nature in a public restroom before needing to use said restroom, you are ill prepared to carry a gun, period.

Maybe instead of the simple shooting test, the ltc class should focus on actual handling of a firearm. You'll handle a gun WAY more often that you will shoot one. (and if you don't, that's another sign that something is amiss)

Off the soapbox now. Carry on.
