San Francisco Sheriff announced the first CCW was approved. 15 minutes later, a reporter had the name, address and work location of the person it was for- and published all that information. News agencies are known to ask for entire databases of CCW holders under formal requests- some get it, some good Sheriff push back and don't give it.
I think it's time for CRPA to play a little "offense" and work the legislative room for a specific new law that makes this personal information confidential, protects law organizations from releasing it- and the individuals releasing it a felon. It puts people's lives, their families, friends and co-workers lives at enormous risk and there is no putting that Jenie back in the bottle.
Whatever the media's data need may be, they can be satisfied with anonymized aggregates of information- no need for specific individuals.
