IIRC that's for a "business carry permit" (I forget exactly what they call it) which officially can only be used while conducting said business, and I'm pretty sure I read that people who those get hassled a lot...
Correct. You have to register each handgun and renew yearly if i'm not mistaken. miss the renewal period and you're screwed out of your permit and gun!

yup! They tried to do that to someone I know, but he quickly "sold" it!

mods- can this topic be changed to a poll so people can answer privately in case they want to keep  their gun ownership a secret

I have a few cousins in town who are gun collectors and go shooting often.
Not my cup of tea. Hopefully they'll protect me when the gov't comes to get us ;)
