Completely unacceptable

Yet another reason to stay out of California.  I don't know how Sheriffs Department figures this has anything to do public safety.  Public shaming yes, but not safety.  That info should be completely private no FOIA. http://eastcountytoday.net/sheriffs-office-releases-ccw-permit-holders-names-and-locations-to-abc7/

I would think that the information would be protected but then this is California and they will do whatever they want to persons that have firearms because "firearms bad".

it will come down to some one at abc7 needing a slow news day story

He also added that 17% of all applicants are approved.

So 317 CCW applicants were approved out of over 1,500.    80% of applicants do not "qualify" for 2A rights!!!    That's what living in a Leftist utopia results in ... the inability for 80% of those wanting to protect themselves, their loved ones and property.   And just think, the police are only 9 minutes away if you need them, on average and IF they come at all,  and most violent offenses are over in under 3 minutes.

This is the same state that has a law on the books where names of elected officials cannot be put online on property assessment websites.  Confidentiality for me, not for thee.
