California’s gun laws are considered by some people to be unconstitutional restrictions on self-protection. Its concealed weapons permit law gives government officials power to capriciously mete out civil liberties — and they are. According to the San Jose Mercury News, only 113 of the 1,781,642 residents of Santa Clara County have concealed weapons permits — and 64 of them are government officials: judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers. Their names are not divulged.
The 49 civilians were listed by the newspaper. Ordinarily, I would extend privacy to them. That is why you get a concealed weapons permit. But the local newspaper published it and the list of names shows that you have to be connected to get one.

Civil rights are not the property of the state.
We are endowed by our Creator with these rights.
This is a racket that allows 6/1,000ths of 1% of the people of Santa Clara County, California to protect themselves.
This is one more reason why living in California is nuts.
If guns are so dangerous, then why do we allow our judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers to have them? We should protect these 113 super-duper citizens by stripping them of those dangerous handguns. Never know when one of those guns will sudden fire and kill their owners.
Either every law-abiding person has the right or none do.
