Sheriff fights concealed gun permit info release

full story
HILLSBORO, Ore. - Washington County Sheriff Rob Gordon is warning holders of concealed gun permits that he may be forced to release their personal information to the public based on a recent court order.
In April, the Jackson County sheriff was ordered to release a list of all the concealed handgun license holders to a Medford newspaper. The case is now before the Oregon Court of Appeals.
The sheriff believes the license holder information is exempt from the state's public records law if people get the license for safety.
An Oregon court decided that there is no evidence that people get the licenses for security measures, so the sheriff's office is hoping to prove them wrong.
"As your sheriff, I refused to disclose that information because I believe many people obtain a concealed handgun license for personal security and would not want that information made public," he writes in the letter. "I also resist disclosing personal information because of the continuing identity theft risks."
David Frazier, owner of Beavercreek Armory, said it is his right to quietly carry a gun and he is upset that it could be released to the public.
"It kind of disturbs me that people are wanting to out people," he said. "It's obvious that it's none of their business. It's a private matter between me and the sheriff's department."

This is some scarry legilating from the bench. I hope he (the sheriff) wins.

+1 Scott.

Not to mention that this is one more credible reason to do away with permitting altogether, and replace such systems with nothing but Vermont Carry.

Sheriffs can't give what they dont have. :D
