There was a project run a few years ago in which this point was
tested. They surveyed people with CCWs on gun issues, without
telling
the respondants that they (the researchers) knew they had a gun. In
fact, the questioners didn't know their subjects had a gun. Only the
survey managers did.
They were testing to see how many would lie when asked if anyone in
their home had a gun. The total of "lies/forget/don't know"
responses
was either 4% or maybe 6%; I forget.
In other words, people don't lie about it.
That only proves CCW holders don't mind revealing information the
government already possesses, and says -nothing- about other people.
Your logic is unusually sloppy here.
