Attorney General Rob Bonta said he was “deeply disturbed and angered” by the unauthorized disclosure.
SACRAMENTO – The personal information of California residents who received or were denied a concealed and carry weapons permit between 2011 and 2021 was wrongly disclosed online this week, according to the California Attorney General’s Office.
“This unauthorized release of personal information is unacceptable and falls far short of my expectations for this department,” Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. The office did not immediately respond to a message seeking an estimate of the number of people affected by the breach. The Associated Press reported that the breach could potentially involve hundreds of thousands of gun owners who applied for CCW permits.
The California Rifle and Pistol Association noted that the breach came days after the U.S. Supreme Courtthat those seeking to carry concealed weapons provide a reason. That also derailed California’s similar requirement, though state lawmakers and Bonta are working to impose new requirements.
