California’s Department of Justice mistakenly posted the names, addresses and birthdays of nearly 200,000 gun owners on the internet because officials didn’t follow policies or understand how to operate their website, according to an investigation released Wednesday.
The investigation, conducted by an outside law firm hired by the California Department of Justice, found that personal information for 192,000 people was downloaded 2,734 times by 507 unique IP addresses during a roughly 12-hour period in late June. All of those people had applied for a permit to carry a concealed gun.
The data was exposed just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people have a right to carry guns in public. The decision invalidated a California law that said people must give a reason for wanting to carry a concealed weapon, such as a threat to their safety. Lawmakers then tried to pass new restrictions for concealed carry permits, but failed.
Chuck Michel, an attorney and president of the California Rifle & Pistol Association. Michel said his group is preparing a class action lawsuit against the state.
“There is a lot of gaps and unanswered questions, perhaps deliberately so, and some spin on this whole notion of whether this was an intentional release or not,” he said. “This is not the end of the inquiry.”

Horsecrap. What other database has the CA government leaked in such a manner?
WHOOPSIE.
Just like all the leaks coming from the democrats now that they have Trump’s tax returns. “OOPSIE”
So, just incompetence?
☹😲😁😁😂😂🤣🤣🙄
I guess what you believe depends on weighing the government’s malignancy against its incompetence. Tough call.
Gruesome Newsome says Cauliphonya has more money than you can shake a stick at. I hope the gun owners clean up on this. Newsome could use a good swift boot in the ass.
Oopsie!!!

“The investigation, conducted by an outside law firm hired by the California Department of Justice”
Like any law firm being hired by the government would dare to point the finger at the government.
Unintentional does not mean there are no damages.
Not a tough call at all: never attribute to incompetence that which can be attributed to malevolence.
This was done on purpose, to make all gun owners nervous.
This shit needs to backfire bigly.
Everytime the gun grabbers start up their bullshit or any President starts talking about taking away "assault rifles", high capacity magazines or whatever, I run right out with whatever I can spend and buy more.
Only a moron would believe this wasn’t intentional. A real, hardcore fentanyl moron.
Unintentional - Sure it was
OR a Democrat voter
Well it wasn’t a data breach. The CA Dept. of Justice posted the data on the Dept. website. Nobody had to ‘breach’ the website. The data was publicly available, anyone who wanted to look or download could do so.
Let me guess, Perkins Coie?
My guess is intentional and not incompetence. The red flag is that the “accidental” leaks never benefit the people, only the ruling entity.
All their mistakes always hurt only one side of this CWII.
