Their next step is probably to leak the info to the media.
During the Obama reign of hell, I was close to getting my concealed carry permit. But right after passing the required class, some azhole (I think it was in Montana) leaked the personal info of that state’s concealed carry citizens. Even though the normalcy bias tells you “it can’t happen here”... it often does and probably will... so I never followed through. With the same regime now in firm control, looking back, I’m glad I didn’t continue on with it. It’s going to be bad enough for folks on the right now without having ‘that’ piece of info out there, too.
It could have been Montana, too, but it was definitely Missouri. At the time, your CCW endorsement was indicated on your driver license or state ID. Word got out to get the endorsement on a separate ID, because you didn’t want people requesting to see your driver license knowing your CCW status.
Some Missouri Department of Revenue hack was funneling all the information on CCW holders to the Obama Administration. In response, Missouri made it a decentralized system, in which the county sheriffs issue the actual endorsement card.
