I thought CCW permit holders were considered the good guys

Actually, it wasn't intended to do that, but the only way they could figure out how to alert LE to a permit holder was to add it to the wants and warrants file in LEADS/NCIC. So it shows up as a "warrant", except that the "nature" field shows it to be a permit holder. (Ohio cobbled this together pretty hastily, and there's still a lot of bugs to iron out.) So, when we run a plate on our MDT's (on board computers), the alarm sounds that a unit has stopped someone with an "active warrant".
That happens several times during a shift, & it's a pain in the butt as radio traffic goes crazy asking "do you need backup?", etc.
