On August 22, 2007 the plaintiff The Mail Tribune, Inc. (Mail Tribune), a newspaper of general circulation in Jackson County, Oregon, sought a disclosure under the Oregon Public Records law, ORS 192.410 -192.505, requesting "a copy of a list of all concealed weapons permits issued in Jackson County in 2006 ano 2007." OnSeptember 5, 2007 the Mail Tribune submitted a second request for "access to theconcealed weapons permit issued to Shirley M. Katz."1 Both requests were made to the defendant Michael S. Winters, Sheriff of Jackson County, Oregon (Sheriff Winters), the keeper of the records sought.1 Ms. Katz was the plaintiff in Katz v. Medford School District 549C, Jackson County Circuit Court No. 07-3765-E-2 (2007) in which she had asserted she possessed a concealed handgun license, issued by the Sheriff of Jackson County, and that she wanted to carry her concealed handgun to the place of her employment with the Medford School District. Sheriff Winters agreed at the trial of this case that because Ms. Katz had publicly disclosed the existence of her concealed weapons license she had waived any right to claim her application was subject to any of the exemptions relied on by the defendant and that her application would be delivered to the Mail Tribune immediately. The Court presumes Sheriff Winters has complied and delivered that document.1
Opinion --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newspaper WANTED TO PUBLISH THE RECORDS OF ALL CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMIT CARRIERS. The Sheriff is trying to prevent this. Also take note: If you have a concealed carry permit, do not disclose it publicly!
