[edit] Sheriffs Show United Front On Concealed Weapons Privacy

"Central Oregon correspondent Ethan Lindsey reports on the controversy over concealed weapons.

The debate really boils down to this: should concealed handgun licenses be public or private?

According to state law, the licenses are public records just like hunting licenses or marriage licenses.

But OPB surveyed every sheriff's office in the state, and it is clear they're all working to keep the documents private."
