They’re basically setting a precedent that, unless you EXPLICITLY and OFFICALLY request that you don’t want your personal information released, it would be released on your behalf to any anti-gun nut reporter who requests it.
Privacy would no longer be inherent or the default position in the eyes of the law, you’d have to say that you want it kept private...assuming you are even asked the question.
This is one reason I never applied for a CCW “permit”.
IMO, the United States Constitution already gave me that right, and we know what it is, and what it says.
