There were issues in Virginia and Ohio with newspapers publishing names and addresses of concealed carry license holders.

What jerks (to be polite) to publish this information.

Like any other personal information that is gathered, in this case it seems sensible to require demonstration that the requestor has 1) a need to know 2) demonstratable method in place to protect the privacy of the persons whose information is being gathered 3) names and specific identification of any and all persons and entities that would have access to information gathered 4) specific recourse for any abuse of information gathered, shared, lost or abused 5) demonstrable method in place to allow " opting out" of information sharing 6) method in place for correcting mistakes 7) records available to everyone who asks..of who asked for the information 8) automatic notice of disclosure on each and every instance of disclosure to the person whose information has been requested or disclosed. 9) names of each and every person or entity that voted for or in any way mandated disclosure of private information of citizens and personal property they own 10) public lists of any agency or entity that maintains records on personal property that has been licensed by a private individual or entity 11) automatic end date beyond which the information may no longer be deemed to be acurate, thus, no longer eligible for disclosure 12) proof that any information disclosed is not transmitted to anyone not adhering to all of the previous requirements, and that all documentation of above requirements is in place before disclosure. 13) specific time allowance for correction of information or contesting validity of request, along with specifc recourse action allowable against nuisance requests or harrassement requests before disclosure is made 14) penalties for abuses listed above, and courses of action for gaining redress 15) specific legislated rights of privacy defined in all documents referred to above 16) administrative fee schedule for any public agency that provides information above, to cover the cost of the search and record keeping of due diligence requirements.......

So much like the credit bureau system, this could be a user based system designed to monitor access to information, as well as allow for accuracy, and allows "freezing of information" at will.
