The government of California inadvertently made public the names, birthdates, and addresses of hundreds or perhaps thousands of licensed concealed-carry permit holders who live in the state.
California's Firearms Dashboard Portal was launched earlier this week by Attorney General Rob Bonta. Its purpose, according to The Wall Street Journal, was to "improve transparency on the fraught topic." Bonta's office wanted residents to use the portal to obtain details on the number and locations of concealed-carry permit holders.
