So where can we sign on to join the class action lawsuit against the state for this? Seriously, this pisses me off a lot. They have put lives at risk with their gross negligence. I really don’t believe this was an accident either, it was either willful by the state, or some disgruntled gun hating employee. ---

I lean towards it’s a deliberate and malicious attempt to harm CCW permit holders. I doubt they’ll inform those affected their personal data have been exposed. ---

We may not get Bonta booted, but some IT Security folks should be really worried about their jobs. I’ll be looking into what compliance frame work governs the State. Minimally they violated best practices. ---

Read more on this situation. It was not a leak, it was an intentional release by the State of California government. They only turned the access off when it became apparent they had been caught violating privacy and safety requirements for protection of the sensitive information. Historically, when such CCW information has been made public, one result has been targeted burglaries of residences now identified as having guns there. A second result has been ability of stalking former partners to find their victims who got the CCW to protect themselves from the abusive partners and had been hiding for safety. ---

From one of the many other posts on this massive “mistaken” data breach. Notice, gang members information is never leaked! MISTAKENLY, what a joke, just like the Supreme Court leak. Still haven’t revealed the perpetrators. They’re not even looking! Mistakes, twelve publishing houses turn down J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Throwing away that hard drive with the bitcoin portfolio worth 4.5m Pissing off Ghengis Khan Picking Kamala for anything The French ordering trains too wide for the platforms countrywide Leaks from Supreme Court, DOJ leaks of CCW holders… F#$@£¥g PRICELESS‼️ ---

> [@Robert1297](#): > > this pisses me off a lot. Don’t get too pissed off, you could get “red flagged”! We’re supposed to bend over and take it like men! See, they don’t need no stinking confiscation laws, just your neighbors and a mole in a department that has access! Button up those castles, your not a judge, hence no protection for you!

We’ve got to be areful about “Red Flag” laws. I know of a veteran who “self-reported” when he was depressed in a state where they just came and got his guns. He was not a threat to anyone, and was not placed in an institution of any type, but wanted to get the guns out of his house temporarily. No luck getting them back when he went to court for that. Basically, he is just stuck. Now will he be “red flagged” forever anywhere he goes? This was not something that the VA did to him. ---

If one feels that ill “cognitively or psychologically”, give all your firearms and ammo to a trusted/capable/legally vetted friend and tell him/her why; but also seek the best help you can find. Better to be alive, and live to fight to renew your rights, than not alive at all, or worse. Prevent such mental health crises before they happen. ---
