Cali Ping!
So they are only going to give the list to their AntiFA (anti-first-amendment) thug “friends”?
If they don’t intend to release the list then why do they want it?
There was a California State Supreme Court ruling decades ago that said the permitting agencies had to release this information in order that the public can be assured the ‘discretionary system’ used by the local LEO’s were not being given exclusively to rich, well connected, campaign donors or that no racial biases were deployed in the issuance etc. In CA permits are issued by the county sheriff or the city police (but the police can refuse to issue any permits and then it falls on the sheriff).
But it is not shall issue it is may issue. The rural county sheriffs are mostly ‘shall issue’ in practice. The red counties basically only give them to the inner sanctum - judges, donors, wealthy.
So if you live in Mendicino County you can get a CCW permit, then drive into San Fran and carry legally, while San Fran residents can’t do the same. The permit issued in one county is good throughout the state. It’s a weird old system created back in the racist days when the politicians figured a discretionary system would allow them to give permits to white men and deny them to Blacks and Hispanics.

Free men don’t ask permission. The 2nd Amendment is your permit, if you choose to be an actual American.
Reason 10,348 that my wife and I packed up the kids and left our home state more than 10 years ago. Quit our jobs, sold our home, and moved to the Tampa Bay area.
We miss the geography (and our family and friends). Florida is beautiful at the coasts but away from the coasts it’s just flat and featureless.
But, we’d do it again in a heartbeat to escape the radical leftists ruining that beautiful state.
3 more SCOTUS by the end of 2024
Time to Dox every single employee of the San Francisco Chronicle and start sending them letters........
““It is a journalist’s job to investigate trends, and we do not intend on publishing personal information of private citizens,” Cooper said.......”
So why does the “journalist” need names for a trend?
Maybe the media wants to know who in their crazed employ is packing.
Well, suck it up, buttercup . . .
Keep voting democrat Cali.
well if they have no intention of releasing names or personal information, why do they want the list? And the media is ‘deeply disturbed ‘that “the sheriff” would notify the public that the media is demanding personal information? ha! Sing it from the rooftops Sheriff. SFC are a bunch of commies anyway.
What business is it of the newspaper who has gun licenses? That’s the danger in getting on any registry.
How about a freedom of information request for an equal amount of information on all people in that area who DON’T have concealed carry permits???
Only seems fair to me.
If it’s a “Concealed Carry” license, should the name of the holder also be “Concealed”?
No right to privacy. No expectation of basic decency in California. Got it.
Enemy territory until taken back. It operates as a foreign country so it should be treated that way.
People in CA don’t like to leave the state because they know how hated California is. Not its people so much as its government and ideology.
