There is no right to know
In Ohio, restricting access to carry permit lists.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

If the Police Chief’s Association wants to know about Handgun Permit Holders violations of the Law, I suggest they call the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for their “Research”. It’s called “Police Work”. The OAG has all the facts, but perhaps the Police Chief’s need to also look up the word “Police”. As for the Anti and his “I want to know who to Associate With” line, how about he publishes all the name and addresses of his Organization FIRST. That way he only has to worry about the Goblins. He OBVIOUSLY doesn’t want to be near People with Guns, so he should NEVER need to call 911, right? God Forbid an Armed LEO come and save his ass, right?

What if I want to know if I’m sitting next to somebody who has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease? You know, so I can decide if I want to use one of my pickup lines on ’em. I mean, aren’t those diagnoses reported to the government, so they become government information, so I have a “right to know?”

“This law forces judges to pretend they are editors.” Bull, what it does is require people to go through the same process that anyone would have to in order to obtain non-public, private information.
“The Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police has argued that the names of permit holders should be public to allow journalists and researchers to examine gun violence committed by those carrying hidden handguns.”
Guess whose job that is? Yours, Mr. Po-po. It’s not the job of a journalist to examine crime. That’s your effin’ job. My response to that would be to have them open up all of the personnel files for the department and IA files as well to let the journalists “examine” them. I’ll bet that would be seen as a completely different situation. Oh, wait, we both carry guns. Hmmmm.

“There are strong, compelling public policy reasons why these records should not be secret”
but even stronger ones why they should be secret, if required at all.
Paraphrasing “if someone is in court on a gun-related charge we will not be able to find out if the person has a CCW.: Well, no, you won’t – UNLESS YOU PAY ATTEMTION because one of the questions sure to be asked is whether the defendant has a license, and if so probably of what type.
I can remember when even reporters were not allowed to get into automobile registrations and driver licenses.
