CCW and paranoia
SS_N_NE:
It is better to add to the visible numbers rather than try to hide.
Get the permit.
However, it is a hollow feeling, paying for training, traveling to a remote HP office, paying a police fine, proving citizenship, identity, background check and being fingerprinted to enjoy a Constitutional Right. Going to a police office, getting identified and fingerprinted, and paying a fine are usually the result of breaking a law...not a Right. Sorry, years later and I am still bitter.

Don't forget this exchange from the phony Democrat debate:
ANDERSON COOPER: Which enemy that you made during your political career are you most proud of?
CLINTON: Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians; probably the Republicans.
If you are an American patriot, you are seen by the high seers of the liberal cult as an enemy, and not just a plain enemy, but among their most hatred ones. Having a permit to exercise your Constitutional right to bear arms won't make you any more of an enemy in their eyes than you already are. So either stand up for your freedom, or you might as well go all the way and grovel before the altars of liberalism with the cattle.

I'm not just a club member... I might be the president. A teacher who owns guns, has a CHP and is a CHP instructor... I'm on a list.

If we have to bury our arms to keep them from being taken we have already lost them. I've run across quite a few patriots over the years who said they would not join a group like the NRA, because they didn't want to be on a government enemies list, just in case, and they made it a point not to own even one registered gun, buying only from non-dealers. I always told them that standing in the open with a force of patriots in order to win the political war was far more likely to secure their freedom than trying to remain invisible, and if they were not going to stand with that force now when fighting tyranny is relatively easy, how likely is it that they would become part of some guerrilla force when patriots were being hunted?
If a corrupt government does come around confiscating arms, they'll be using metal detectors and things like that. I don't know how deep you have to bury them to defeat those means, but it's probably pretty deep, and hiding them behind hollow walls isn't going to do any good either; they'll tear the wall open just to see if it's a pipe or a gun that registered. And I'm guessing that those who are so opposed to things like waterboarding now would have no problem with it or any other coercive means that might be used by those who disarm patriots, since liberal cattle can be counted on to think whatever they are told to think.

Anyone procrastinating getting a CHP, may as well get it and forget the paranoia. Every legalized citizen adult and most minors are already in a system of tracking and may not recognize it; SSN, dental records, finger printing, retinal scan, facial scan, DNA, school records, military records, criminal background, permitting of any kind (drivers, hunting, fishing, firearm purchase), club memberships/NRA, computer IP addressing/usage history, telephone (cell/land) & cable usage, passport, air travel which includes DHS records, any government program/assistance, taxpayer/income earning records, banking/credit apps and the ever present security video monitoring in businesses. This should be nothing new to us as every one of us is already known in some regard.
To pick up on M Morton's commentary - I've often wondered how would a gun confiscation program really work? I mean think about the massiveness of scale such an endeavor would take. I would think it would have to start with a nation-wide amnesty program followed by some means of confiscation. Think about this for a few seconds...would door-to-door confiscation across the vastness of this continent including Alaska & Hawaii and U.S. Territories really be feasible? It simply couldn't be done simultaneously in every state. With some cities containing millions of people down to the small one-horse towns to every ranch & farm & swamp residence where each household is to be searched...I don't see how. Once the word got out that house-to-house searching was starting on such a large scale is almost unimaginable. I know they did some confiscation during Katrina in New Orleans, but that was an isolated area and you know they still didn't get every firearm. It would take something like martial law with the complete armed forces to enforce "the plan" which still, given the vastness of this country, is a massive undertaking and we have other things going on in the world for our military to worry about more than this. Gun bans & confiscation talk mostly make for good political rhetoric/fodder for votes (on both sides) with increased gun & ammo sales and resultant paranoia for arms owners.
