link to The Journal News article which published the names and addresses with an interactive map of some carry permits which are outdated.
Quite the uproar going on.
link didn’t work. Try this.

All the people that work for this paper should have their address, phone number, stock holdings and such published. The first amendment people should have had their data published first, that is unless they publish with a quill pin.
if there is ANY increase in home break-ins over the next month or so, and those homes just happen to NOT own a gun... I would sue that paper for giving the criminals a list of safe homes to hit
Good. They should be criminally charged and prosecuted. I hope they get their a$$es sued off into closure.
Very wrong thing to do. They literally put peoples’ lives in jeopardy by doing that. Should be prosecuted. What about publishing all owners of gold coins?
This shows the true philosophy of the “Great Unifier” political party. Seems like all these people do is find ways to divide this nation.
Simple and effective response:
As many permit holders as possible should go to each and very advertiser of the paper, stand in a conspicuous PUBLIC spot and tell each and every passerby, “I’ve got a gun...permit.”
In that post there are two interesting replies:
This guy:
http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/sauce-for-the-goose/
posted the name, address phone numbers and other info on the publisher and the reporter.
I don’t know who the guy is, but one would suspect he’s one of the people displayed in this reckless release of data.

I almost feel sorry for the newspaper publisher.
...the editor should have all his (or her) information made public...address, phone number, email,.....
The Democrat IL Attorney General last year wanted the names of Illinois gun owners published but was overruled by the Illinois Senate. Democrat Gov Quinn reluctantly signed the bill into law.
Illinois Governor Signs Bill Banning Release of Firearm Owners Names
Published July 03, 2011
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn on Saturday signed into law a measure barring the public from knowing who holds a firearm owner identification card in Illinois.
The bill, passed overwhelmingly by Illinois lawmakers in May, was a victory for gun owners who say they have a right to privacy over open-government advocates who say such records should not be secret.
Quinn, who has said he agreed that the information should remain confidential, offered no immediate public comment Saturday, quietly announcing the bill signing by email to news outlets.
In a 42-1 vote, the Senate passed a measure overturning a ruling by Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office that said the names are public under the state’s open records law. Madigan’s office issued the decree earlier this year after the Illinois State Police refused to release to The Associated Press the names of 1.3 million people who are registered to own firearms.
The AP’s request set off howls of protests from gun owners and the state police, who said they feared criminals would use the information to steal guns or target those who weren’t armed.
I guess I am a little torn about having the gun owners names and addresses published.
The invasion of privacy is a problem, but it also lets the local crooks, criminals and thieves* know which houses are not hostile work places for them.
* not counting the elected crooks, criminals and thieves.
I’m up there and pissed off and so are a lot of cops I know whose spouses have weapons permits.
has a nice looking house at 3 Gate House Lane, Mamaroneck, NY 10534..... especially the inside here.
How about posting all the names of the editors, reporters, owners and employees of the newspaper noting which do not own registered guns?
Seen this before. The idea behind this tactic is that the neighbors are supposed to ‘engage the gun owners’ in conversations about why they want to kill kindergarten kids. I’ve also seen it used to encourage neighbors to prohibit their children from visiting the gun owners homes or playing with their children. Imagine having your six year old asking you to get rid of your evil gun so they can play with the kids next door.
