L.A. Weekly Publishes List of Concealed-Weapons Permit Holders

The sidebar to Gene Maddaus’ explosive LA Weekly cover story about the concealed-weapons permits granted by the office of LA County Sheriff Lee Baca (to mostly judges and reserve officers) is also fully loaded.

Via a public information request last year, the enterprising reporter obtained a full list of 341 people who, in May of 2012, were in possession of such permits from the LASD. Maddaus tells FishbowlLA there are several other city agencies besides the Sheriff’s office that issue concealed-weapons permits, and that probably at any given time a few hundred more people in LA County have these privileges.

Per the info active date, Maddaus has been in possession of this list for some time.
