I've had two TS backgrounds done and three Secret ones completed as well as a local LEO background. If you want to think that a background done on a CCW holder is equivalent, you're a bit off. A CCW permit generally entails a NCIC check as well as local wants/warrants/arrests. That's pretty much it. No finances, no poly, nothing else. Sorry, but even local LEOs get polygraphed and have their finances investigated. At the federal level they talk to your neighbors as well. At every address you've had over the last X number of years.
Since you are federal and thus automatically biased against armed citizens, here is where I end. The Second Cold Civil War is about to begin, especially if Obama gets elected.
Tell you what - try to not tell me what I think. You haven't a clue. I'm all for CCWs. Helped my neighbor get one, in fact, by taking him to the range and teaching him to shoot.
I'm a huge proponent of the 2nd Amendment, so please try not to build any more straw men.
