HB 4045 Was signed into law by Governor Kitzhaber on April 11th 2012 making all concealed carry permit information private. So, for Oregon it's not really a viable poll, as it cannot be released anyway.
This is true. But that doesn't mean Burdick isn't going to try to change it.
Let her try, it passed by a wide margin. I don't think she is going to waste her time and efforts on it, and if she does anything it's going to be focused on gun control, not privacy laws. I don't even see her tacking it on to any attempts she makes at gun rights. I'll be watching, because frankly I am more worried about what's going to occur on the state level, then the federal.
That only scratches the surface of the problem with publishing this information, everyone has their own reason for owning a gun and going through the steps of acquiring a CHL. One group of people, outside the gun community itself, that should object to this information being published is victim advocacy groups. Some victims, such as those of stalking and domestic violence, have to work hard to disappear/protect themselves. Such published information could lead their attackers/abusers right to their doorstep.That was completely irresponsible to publish that info. If some crackhead wants to steal a gun, that's a good place to start looking.
I disagree with the blogger posting the information of all the news staff. I don't think "an eye for an eye" is justifiable. Though I *Do* think it is hypocritical that the author of the article, a gun owner, omitted his own personal data.
