Kimberman, anyone else,
Do you know the rationale for Mullery's introduction of H.F. 497 yesterday?
Quote: H.F. No. 497, as introduced - 86th Legislative Session (2009-2010) Posted on Feb 02, 2009
1.1 A bill for an act 1.2 relating to government data practices; authorizing access to certain firearm data 1.3 by parole and probation authorities;amending Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 1.4 13.87, by adding a subdivision. 1.5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
1.6 Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 13.87, is amended by adding a subdivision 1.7 to read: 1.8 Subd. 5. Parole and probation authority access to records. Parole and county 1.9 probation authorities may access data identified in subdivision 2 on an applicant or permit 1.10 holder who is also a defendant, parolee, or probationer of a district court.
Is this just the first chink in a line of attempts to make purchase/transfer and permit data accessible more people for no good reasons? Or is there a story behind this that justifies the change?

He tried that last year too.
It's pretty stupid. Which Sheriff is going to issue a permit to a convicted criminal who is still on parole or probation?
To me, it seems like a cheap shot at getting the permit holder database into non-LEO hands.

isn't this the other way around though. The PO wants to be able to check that his Parolee doesn't have a permit. Not all crimes lead to relinquishing the permit or firearms.
Silly and unnecessary as with or without a permit, their Parolee could go nuts.

My thought was if the crime was serious enough to warrant parole or supervised probation, the Sheriff would revoke the permit anyhow.
Besides, the parolee who is going to kill his parole officer is probably not all that concerned about carrying legally anyhow.
At any rate, it just opens up unsupervised access to people who don't need it.

I don't know why, but I just can't help but put a face on this proposed legislation.
