New York newspaper publishes list of pistol permit holders in 3 counties.....still think this is about assault weapons? What should our response to this? Here is the link: http://www.lohud.com/interactive/article/20121223/NEWS01/121221011/Map-Where-gun-permits-your-neighborhood-?nclick_check=1

I hate that they did this, but the amendments allow it just like they allow us to own weapons so I can't complain too much.

Same thing happened here in Iowa with a rag out of Des Moines. Some very resourceful gentleman looked up and listed all of the names, addresses and phone numbers of the people associated with the article and the paper. Unfortunately, they were listed in the comments section of the electronic edition of the paper and were immediately taken down. Guess the editors didn’t see turnabout as fair play. Newspapers claim to want guns off the street, yet they publish a shopping directory to potentially put more in the hands of criminals willing to steal what they want. Now, who will be responsible if someone gets hurt in the process?

It doesn't seem fair that they can publish the names of gun permit holders, but can't for disabled parking permit holders, for example.

Hi...


Here's a chuckle for you.


A reader of that paper got even by publishing the addresses of the principal owners and reporters of that paper, per today's (12-27-12) "The Blaze"...!!
