The California Department of Justice briefly published the home address information of every concealed carry permit holder in the state on Monday.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta touted the database as introducing transparency on state concealed carry processes.
California isn't exactly a state known for transparency, raising questions as to why the state's attorney general is prioritizing the release of information on private citizens who legally own and carry guns.
California law does protect the home address information of state officials such as judges and prosecutors from release, a law the state Department of Justice appears to have flouted.
It's unusual for a state attorney general to release an open database of concealed carry permit holders to the public.
This isn't even the first time that California has released information on gun owners.
In 2016, the California Department of Justice accidentally leaked the personal address information of every registered firearms instructor in the state, according to RedState.
