Jackson County fights release of handgun permits · 8 June 08
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department continues to fight a court order to release records related to handgun permits. Instead, the agency is appealing a judge’s ruling that a list of concealed handgun licenses must be provided to the Mail Tribune. The newspaper requested the records “about nine months ago as part of an investigation into news that a South Medford High School teacher had such a license and wanted to carry her gun to school.” Read more on the Mail Tribune’s web site.

I got a copy of those from Yamhill County last fall simply by asking politely.

Nice work, Laurent. Jackson County is playing hardball but they’re not alone. In public records audit a few years back, a lot of sheriff’s offices refused to give up CCLs.
