I believe this is the correct section for this. If not, a move to the correct section would be appreciated.
I received a letter from my local sheriff in early January of this year. It reads in part:
This letter includes a section in which you are supposed to answer "yes" to two questions to affirm that you do in fact request that your information be kept confidential and that you are in fact in possession of a CHL as a personal safety measure.
I have been able to find a copy of this letter on another counties website here:

But as of yet, I have not been able to find out any more information regarding the status of the case or petition.
I have sent a letter to my sheriff asking for an update but he has not responded.
I searched here and have exhausted my limited google skills. Has anyone else heard of this? Perhaps you have an update, opinion, or perspective you'd like to share? Or hopefully a link to where this has already been discussed and dismissed as hogwash?
This has actually had me worried for some time. Any help or information would be appreciated.
I received a letter from my local sheriff in early January of this year. It reads in part:
There is currently a statewide issue regarding the disclosure of the names, addresses and other identifying information of people who have concealed handgun licenses, which includes you. In short, the media and other groups are asking for lists of information about all the people who have a concealed handgun license. As your sheriff, I have refused to disclose that information, as it is my belief that people get a CHL for their security and the security of their families and do not want that information made public. In addition, as we are all aware, identity theft continues to be a growing concern.
An Oregon court has recently said that there is no evidence that people get a CHL as a security measure, and ordered the Jackson County Sheriff to disclose the list of information about Jackson County CHL holders to the local newspaper. That case is currently being appealed in the Oregon court of appeals.
