Lets wait and see. Nothing in the article says the burglar was after the gun. People actually do keep money and other valuables in safes.
I'd assume so, if proper channels were followed. How does Freedom Of Information work? I've never tried it.
Does one have to fill out a form and then the information is automatically provided? Does one have to state a purpose for the information before it is provided? What if the information is used in a way other than what was stated as the purpose? Is that perjury for providing false information on a government document? Would the county provide the information if they were told that the newspaper was going to publish it, or was the county told that it was only for "research" and then it was published?
Would a criminal take a chance in filing a public request for public information, leaving a trail behind if he were caught in the burglary?

The Journal News claims it’s public knowledge. Anyone can get it. HOWEVER, IMO, your average burglar isn’t going to go to that effort.
Bringing me to the second question I’ve had all day. Two, actually. Why’d they go in through the second floor AND HOW WERE THEY CAUGHT?
This why liberals win and conservatives lose. Stop thinking like the British during the American Revolution. In war, there are no rules!!! Use everything in your arsenal including lawyers!!!
The headline should have read *Homeowner Shoots Intruder in Self-Defense*
I'll bet in colonial times everyone owned a gun. There would have been no need for a list like that.
What?!?
I suppose you can try, but that gets you 100,000 more respondent lawyers, and no more plaintiff lawyers.
May not be a good strategy, esp since your take is limited to some estimation of the damages.
If your goal is money, you have to have a good chance of winning to get a settlement. If your goal is driving the guilty party out of business, you have to have a good chance of winning so that he spends a lot on lawyers, and his legal costs are mostly concentrated on him.
Gracia Matore’s address is 728 Springvale Road Great Falls VA 22066
lots of woods around the house... must be just beautiful.
True. And you have to prove some linkage and and and.
Can you say, Proximate Cause? Suits could go on for decades.
Gannett publishing’s attorneys ought to be better than this.
This is one of their primary talking points- that guns used in crimes are “stolen” from legal gun owners.
I don’t think it would be “conspiracy theory” to wonder if this list was published to prove that point. (requiring gun safes, liability insurance, & leaving guns at the range would be “compromises” to outlawing guns altogether)
Yep, it could be a treasure map for pirates, and if the victim is smart, it could be a source of treasure when the victim sues.
Gotta find out the name of the victim and encourage him/her to sue the pants off the newspaper...the left would certainly do so, and it’s about time we smartened up and did the same.
This paper is part of the Gannett communist propaganda network. Why dont the parent organizations ever face any scrutiny when one of the outlets goes really rogue?
If the owner of your local McDonalds starting putting razor blades on sandwiches instead of pickles then McD HQ would be, rightly or wrongly, drawn into the issue immediately. How is it then that a paper can use its product to knowingly and willfully attempt to aggitate for and instigate burglaries, rapes and murders but the situation is just treated as a local problem?
Its not as though this is the first time this kind of thing has happened so why isnt anyone asking those on the top of this dung pile why it is allowed to happen and why arent they the ones paying the piper?
Can’t see the house unless it is to the Left of the “A”, but I’ll bet she has a “No poor people allowed” sign on her lawn, driveway and on trees behind the barbed wire.
I hope that Matore is crapping in her Depends. Maybe she should have looked up the word “PAYBACK” in the dictionary before she started/allowed this stuff to start.
The revolt of the law-abiding citizen has begun in ernst and shows no signs of letter up. GOOD!
Time to take psychological warfare to our domestic enemies. They deserve it.
I didn’t immediately note that this paper was part of the Gannett empire, although I should’ve assumed about as much and looked it up.
Hmmm. Deep pockets. Very deep pockets indeed.
Maybe the court should make the paper put in a very solid alarm system for everyone on that map as part of any settlement/litigation for the protection of those poor people..
I suppose they'll just fire the reporter and figure that'll let em skate on the lawsuits. It's happened before.
