- crb002 10y agoIowa Code Chapter 22 is the most transparent I know of. There was one uproar when concealed carry permits were published online, but the underlying problem is that Iowans have a blacklist of those banned from having a weapon, so the whitelist is a poll tax. My only problem so far was getting pics of my house doxxed from property records and sent to me in a threatening email from a bitcoin paid account in Sweden. "Mr. Dendler" had poor opsec and logged a profile view to my LinkedIn. One request for LinkedIn to archive "Dendler"'s IP logs and it abruptly stopped. Must not have been using TOR.
