Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?

One more reason to be against mandatory gun registration.

Personally, I believe this paper was totally irresponsible and this is an infringement of law abiding gun owners' right. And if someone broke into my house to steal guns after this info was given out, I'd be filing a lawsuit.

  and the paper should be held negligent for anything that occurs.....including burglars/invaders that get killed.

Legal Gun Owners in New York Outed Like Sex Offenders
Kurt Nimmo

Infowars.com     http://www.infowars.com/legal-gun-owners-in-new-york-outed-like-sex-offenders/
December 24, 2012

A corporate media owned website in New York has posted the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in three counties in the state.
 
“Data for all permit categories, unrestricted carry, premises, business, employment, target and hunting, is included, but permit information is not available on an individual basis.”

The Journal News submitted Freedom of Information requests for the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. It used Google Maps to pinpoint specific locations and included the names and addresses of permit holders.

The Gannett owned newspaper did not specify a reason for invading the privacy of handgun owners. However, considering the animosity of officialdom in the state toward the Second Amendment and the right to own firearms, the reason for outing legal handgun owners should be obvious.

The Journal News map resembles others posted online revealing the names and addresses of convicted sex offenders, thus giving the impression that handgun ownership is criminal.

New York governor Andrew Cuomo called for gun confiscation last week following the shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school. “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it,” the governor told a local radio station during an interview.

New York City mayor and noted anti-Second Amendment activist Michael Bloomberg went on Meet the Press on December 15 and demanded Obama issue an “executive action” calling for the ATF and the Justice Department to enforce new regulations aimed at law-abiding American practicing their right to own firearms. “What the president can do is number one, through executive action, he can order his agencies to enforce the laws more aggressively,” Bloomberg said.

Someone decided that turn about was fair play.  Below is the information on the publisher of the Journal-News, the newspaper that published all the names and addresses of licensed pistol permit holders in three New York Counties.

White Plains newspaper The Journal- News, a Gannett publication, has published the full name and address of every licensed pistol permit holder in three New York counties. I don’t know whether the Journal’s publisher Janet Hasson is a permit holder herself, but here’s how to find her to ask:

(UPDATE: Uh oh – InstaPundit’s linked here. Hundreds of thousands of readers; Janet, you have a great Christmas Eve)

You might also try (914) 525-1923, but the area code is just a guess on the assumption that this number is a land line.

One of the reasons I will never get a CPL.

I am seriously leaning toward this view.

We need to push for laws to protect law-abiding citizens from media abuses like this.

Own a gun? We know where you live

There are some very troubling trends in irresponsible reporting by the media to achieve their agendas.  These trends are threats to our cherished freedoms, our privacy, and our safety. 

Write your representatives and ask them to put a stop to this abuse by the media.

This is a link to an article that provides an interactive map to identify the names and addresses of gun permit holders in some areas of New York.

Leave the publishers a comment to let them know how you feel about this careless and irresponsible article.

Another fine example of the Public Records Act. Child molesters get less publicity it seems.

There are a lot of problems with this.

For starters, the idea of a CWP is amity not enmity with society.

The President (And his Media) has promised to bring the full power of his Office, (and his Media) upon the American public. We can fold and all become discraced sheep so he may rule in peace. Or, we can stand as the Free People we are. His Media only has power if we listen. As far as I am concerned they can go frack themselves. 

If they come, they will come. It won't be until that time people will know what they will do. I have never had so much disgust for Government and Their Media.

I love Utah, I hope more States follow. I have to admit, if I left Washington it would not be all bad. If it follows California I won't stay here.

Even my towns CWP renewals are backlogs weeks. Not hours or days, weeks, for renewals. And they are very friendly towards CWP.
