I would think that permitting was a reasonable way to prohibit non criminals who were dangerous to either themselves or others to not be allowed to carry a weapon. Where is my logic wrong?

To clarify, the concealed carry permit is issued to a person and it allows that person to carry a concealed firearm. It has nothing to do with a specific weapon. Neither Florida nor the Federal Government maintain a register of firearm ownership.
