while it's legal for ABC7 to post the names and addresses of the CHL holders, there were exceptions put into the law so that certain names could not be publicly disclosed.
The provisions of statutory and decisional law mandates most information contained in CCW applications and permits are subject to public disclosure. The law specifically allows for limited exceptions to public disclosure include the home addresses of permit holders employed in certain occupations, including judges, court commissioners or magistrates, deputy district attorney’s and peace officers. Names of CCW permit holders are not except from public disclosure.
Isn't that special.

I'm not having any bad feelings toward the Sheriff.

The law is the problem. That data is not private and the Sheriff has to abide by that state's open records law, just like Ohio Sheriffs do.

And the Sheriff sent a letter to ALL the people whose info was going to be released.

I'll bet the requestors object to that too.
