Carry permit is public record?

Here in Colorado it's up to the issuing agency....the county. Our County Sheriff keep them and does not distribute to any other agency.

What’s funny is if you expose your CCW weapon in California, inadvertently or otherwise you are at risk of losing your permit. 
 

Actually, it’s not funny. It’s just plain stupid. 
 

In Oregon the CCW or CHL lists were kept confidential.

I don’t know of any state where they are a public record.

There are states that will release concealed carry records under a FOIA request.

Nevada records are confidential - but statistical abstracts may be released.

When Ohio enacted it's carry law in 2004, a local liberal rag here was printing names of people that got their carry permits. They quickly stopped after the Atty. General told them they weren't allowed to do that! Some people sued but I don't know what the outcome was.

Wouldnt you hit the house where you have the least chance of getting shot?

Seems as if making carry permit information publicly available would expose owners to risk of theft.....

 

Wonder which one it is....both, maybe?

In NY State a few years back a newspaper sue to get the list & a court said they were entitled.  The paper published the list & got a shit load of blowback.  A person who didn't think that was right did some research to find the residential addresses of the paper's editor.  The editor was doxed & received many harassing phone calls & death threats.  The editor published an apology.  I think the state made the records private after that.

Here in CA, our idiot DOJ leaked it it.
IMO, to dox every permit holder, so the thugs will know which address to visit, and what selection of guns is available.

Now they probably put a tracker on the car of the permit holder to see when they are far from home.  This gives them the window of opportunity.  The tire/service shops here have started finding the trackers when vehicles of pretty ladies are on the lift.

 

Thank you pards.  I’ll call Tuesday to find out the state’s position on it.

This seemed relevant for California residents.  
Excerpt:

According to Bianco, an “outside legal analysis” determined that the California Supreme Court ruled all the way back in 1986 that if media outlets request this information, “public agencies must disclose the full names of concealed weapons permit holders.”

Actually, I believe I would hit the house during the day, when the guy with the carry gun is probably at work, but there might be others in the house that he is not at the moment carrying.

 

Same theory as the NRA sticker on your car. If I'm in the car, the average carjacker might think twice. But if the car is in the employee parking lot, the smash and grab guy is going to be licking his lips as he busts the window and opens the glove box.

The socialist/ultra-liberal/pos St. Petersburg Times (now The Tampa Bay Times) tried that crap in Florida. The government shut that down quick. Now CWP holder information is confidential. There are well over 1,000,000 permit holders in Florida.

I display my pro-2A decals proudly. I don’t abridge my own first amendment rights to appease or in fear of scum. I didn’t do it in Commieland and sure as hell won’t do it now. 
 

Furthermore CA DOJ leaked more than CCW holders.

Want to read a crapload of “double speak”? Here’s the DOJ’s BS they put out nearly a month after Doxxing gun owners in their own state. 
https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-releases-new-firearms-data-increase-transparency-and

 

Notice there is nothing about their blatant “mistake”  27 days earlier or nothing about what they are going to those that posted the info. Transparency my ***!
This state does stuff like this over and over again. No one gets punished, brought up on charges or even fired. As a matter of fact what CA bureaucracies do is hire more people of the same ilk to watch over or monitor the people that should have been fired. The people that should have been fired usually get reassigned and after a year of licking the egos they do similar things again because a leopard can’t change its spots.

In my county in NY you have to fill out a form to keep the information confidential, I think they started doing this when a liberal newspaper tried to publish a list of permit holders.

Pard, that changed quite a while ago.  I left law enforcement 6 years ago, but several years before I left, our permits in all counties were made public.  In fact, if a cop runs your driver's license, several pieces of information come back.  Whether the license is valid is one of them, but other things like warrants, etc. also return.  When they changed the law making CCW permits public, the computer software had no code for them.  So they entered them all as warrants.  So if you ever get pulled over, the cop will run your license and it will tell him you're wanted.  When he opens up the warrant to see what you're wanted for, it will just show you have a CCW permit.

 

I was incensed by this and spoke with my state legislator about it.  She was too dumb to understand what I was talking about.

I was unaware that this had been changed, About 15 years ago, I was stopped at a checkpoint during New Years checking for drunk drivers. The officer ran my license and then ask me if I was carrying. I asked how he knew I had a CCW permit and he said it showed up om the computer. I basically told him it was none of his business as it was legal in Colorado for anyone who could legally own a firearm could carry a loaded gun in their car, so why was he worried about me. I gave me back my license and said have a nice day.

 

I went to our county sheriff and asked how my permit ended up in the system. He told me it was his option whether to add CCW permits to the state data base. Our next sheriff did not do this and kept CCW permit holders out of the state's data. I did not know it had changed.

Let's also not forget that the US Supreme Court has issued some very strict guidelines on what makes a DUI checkpoint legal.  Among many other things, they stated specifically that running a person's license simply because they stopped in the checkpoint is **NOT** legal as it violates the 4th amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures.
