State attorney on gun owner database
Richmond Times-Dispatch
Friday, April 6, 2007

The state attorney general issued his opinion today that a state police database of concealed-handgun owners in Virginia should not be made available to the public because the information is kept only for investigative purposes.

Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell issued the opinion at the request of state Del. David A. Nutter, R-Montgomery, who said he received numerous calls last month from constituents angry that The Roanoke Times published the list online.

Nutter said he intends to introduce legislation next year putting the database off-limits to the public. Information about concealed-weapon permit holders would still be available for inspection at courthouses across the commonwealth under his bill, Nutter said.

In his opinion, McDonnell said state police have the discretion to release the database under the state's Freedom of Information law, but other state law "limits the use of concealed carry permit information to law enforcement personnel for investigative purposes."

The state's Freedom of Information Advisory Council is currently studying whether the database should be off-limits to the public.
