By: A Washoe District Court judge has rejected a lawsuit filed by a Reno newspaper seeking documents concerning Gov. Jim Gibbons' concealed weapons permit.
An executive at the Reno Gazette-Journal says the newspaper plans to appeal the ruling by Judge Janet Berry.
After a hearing Tuesday, Berry ruled the Legislature intended to protect the identity of concealed weapon permit holders.
The newspaper sued Sheriff Mike Haley, who has declined to discuss the status of Gibbons' firearms permit.
Gibbons acknowledged he surrendered his gun permit earlier this year after it was discovered he hadn't completed all the required training for his nine pistols.
He says he's since completed the requirements and holds a valid permit for all nine weapons.
