  1  7    2.  a.  Notwithstanding any other law or rule to the
  1  8 contrary, the commissioner of public safety and any issuing

  1 21    c.  This subsection shall not prohibit the release of
  1 22 information to any law enforcement agency, or an employee

  2  5 bill does not prohibit the release of statistical information
  2  6 relating to the issuance, denial, revocation, or administration
  2  7 of nonprofessional permits to carry weapons and permits to
  2  8 acquire pistols or revolvers if such information does not
  2  9 reveal the identity of any individual permit holder, or the
  2 10 release of information to any law enforcement agency, or an
  2 11 employee or agent thereof, when necessary for an investigation
  2 12 of a possible violation of law or for conducting a lawfully
  2 13 authorized background investigation.
