A sheriff in California is being legally forced to release sensitive information about private citizens who have a concealed carry permit.

On Monday, Sutter County Sheriff Brandon Barnes alerted citizens who have a concealed carry permit that their name, permit number, date of permit issue and expiration, is being turned over to the San Francisco Chronicle due to a public record request issued on Jan. 10, CBS13 reported.

Barnes wrote in a Tuesday letter that he personally declined turning over the information, but the Office of County Counsel advised him that he is legally obligated to turn over the information.

“The San Francisco Chronicle has not indicated why they want the information or how they intend to use the information,” Barnes added.

So the County Attorneys advised him to turn the names over?  Screw that, force them to sue.

Butte County does not neighbor SF County/City. Not even close. Public records law(s) probably do not allow this, but the SF Comical should be asked what the HELL they intend to do with a list of concealed-carriers in a county a couple hundred miles from SF.

What next for that crap-hole.
